    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.
