Abstract     
Testudinidae Dipsochelys Aldabrachelys Historical records from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries indicate that giant tortoises became extinct on many western Indian Ocean islands during this period, and that by 1900 the surviving population on Aldabra was very small. These data are reviewed, the causes of decline and extinction discussed, and the implications for the history of the Aldabra population are considered.
