    THE BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE PERMIAN AND TRIASSIC
    (1973) Anderson, J. M.
    The charts presented here (i.e. charts 23-35) are intended to form part of a series with those (i.e. charts 1-22) compiled by H. M. Anderson and J. M. Anderson as a supplement to Palaeontologia Africana, Volume 13, 1970' (see bibliography). Charts 1- 22 were presented under the title "A preliminary review of the biostratigraphy of the uppermost Permian, Triassic and lowermost Jurassic of Gondwanaland". Further charts are to follow and will be numbered from 36 onwards.

    The confused state of classification within the family Procynosuchidae
    (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1968) Anderson, J. M.
    To date, fourteen Procynosuchid specimens have been discovered, thirteen from the Cistecephalus beds in the New Bethesda and Murraysburg districts in the Southern Karroo and one very poor specimen from the Ruhuhu Beds to the N.E. of Lake Malawi. Five genera, including eight species, have been created. This paper briefly describes the history of the classification within the family and notes some of the difficulties encountered.

    The cultural implications of the rhinoceros teeth from Limeworks, Makapansgat
    (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1968) Anderson, J. M.
    The evidence concerning the behaviour and Osteodontokeratic culture of the australopithecines that can be assessed from a study of the rhinoceros teeth found in the grey breccia at the Limeworks cavern, Makapansgat is discussed. The material examined consists of ninety-nine identifiable teeth or portions of teeth, only a few of which are still attached to jaw fragments, and eighty-two tooth fragments too small to be identified.

    A PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF THE BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF THE UPPERMOST PERMIAN, TRIASSIC AND LOWERMOST JURASSIC OF GONDWANALAND
    (BERNARD PRICE INSTITUTE FOR PALAEONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH, 1970) Anderson, H. M.; Anderson, J. M.
    This review pager was born out of a desire to visualize in some detail the picture of the evolving Gondwana Triassic landscape and the story of life and ecology upon it; a desire to provide a general setting in which to view the details of the work in which we are actively involved at the present-the macro flora (H.M.A.) and microflora (J.M.A.) of the Molteno 'Formation' of the Karroo Basin of South Africa.
