Abstract
A FEW days ago I discovered at Sterkfontein remains of two new skulls of Plesianthropus transvaalensis. The specimens were found within a few feet of the spot where the type was discovered. One of the specimens is the crushed snout of apparently a young male with some beautiful teeth. The other is a fragment of the snout of a young child of about three years. This latter specimen has the milk molars shown in almost perfect condition.
