Dimensions of the Kanapoi specimen fall. or. in the case of the widths of P4 and M^. presumably fell, within the observed ranges for males of his sample of P. jonesi (1957. tables 6b, 6d) in all cases but three. These, the anterior and posterior widths of M] and the length of ,. fall within the observed ranges for females. As he stresses, the ranges of the two sexes overlap broadly for P4 — M;., in the genus. His samples for males, further- more, are small, numbering only 5. 4 and 3 in these cases. Parapapio is characteristic of the older part of the South African Pleistocene sequence. P. jonesi is well represented at Sterkfontein. Figure 2. Parapapio jonesi Broom. Field no. 122-66K.
