Abstract
Last week Dr C. K. Brain introduced the Swartkrans cave site and described some recent discoveries there. Dr J. T. Robinson now describes two hominid vertebrae which he suggests belonged to a Poranthropus individual ; Mr R. J. Clarke, Dr F. Clark Howell and Dr C. K. Brain present evidence for the view that two different hominids once lived at Swartkrans ; and Dr Mary Leakey considers the stone artefacts.
