    Fossil and subfossil primates from the limestone deposits At Taung, Bolt's farm and Witkrans, South Africa
    (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1965-12) Freedman, Leonard
    A very considerable number of Primate specimens was excavated by the University of California African Expedition from the various deposits at Bolt's farm, Taung and Witkrans, South Africa. These specimens are all now housed in the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California, Berkeley, where they were examined by Dr. H. B. S. Cooke in 1957-1958 and then sent to the writer for description. The remaining fauna and the geology of the sites are discussed in an unpublished paper by Cooke. The most important of the new primate specimens are described and classified below. The measurements used are from Freedman (1957); the photographs are oriented on the occlusal plane.

    A new check-list of fossil Cercopithecoidea of South Africa
    (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1970) Freedman, Leonard
    During 1970, the opportunity was afforded me to spend several weeks in South Africa, studying and identifying the cercopithecoid fossils which have been found recently. The new specimens have been recovered, in the main, by Professor P. V. Tobias and Mr. A. R. Hughes at Sterkfontein, and by Dr. C. K. Brain at Swartkrans and Kromdraai; in addition, further specimens have been developed from the Makapansgat breccia at the Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research. At the request of Professor Tobias, I have compiled a new check-list of the fossil Cercopithecoidea from South African Pleistocene deposits.

    A NEW CHECK-LIST OF FOSSIL CERCOPITHECOIDEA OF SOUTH AFRICA
    (BERNARD PRICE INSTITUTE FOR PALAEONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH, 1970) Freedman, Leonard
    At the request of Professor Tobias, I have compiled a new check-list of the fossil Cercopithecoidea from South African Pleistocene deposits. This list is a revision of the check list published in my monograph of 1957. It is based upon all the papers I am aware of, which have been published since then, as well as the results of my recent visit.
