. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. 4 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM (table 3) the molars of the female, , are considerably larger than those of the other female, Nevertheless, it is apparent that the female teeth of P. wellsi are considerably smaller than those of the males (table 2), the difference being of the order usually found in the genus Papio. The question of possible mandibular fragments and teeth of this species is dealt with in the 'Discussion' below. Measurements. The measurements of the female skull and the male and female upper teeth of this species are given in tables 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Discussion. In previous studies two baboon-like species, Parapapio antiquus (Haughton) and Papio izodi Gear, and possibly a third, Parapapio jonesi Broom, have been recorded from Taung, together with a fourth species of considerably different character, williamsi Mollet. The material assigned to P. wellsi must therefore be compared with the material which has been referred to the first three of these species (Freedman, 1957). The two known male individuals of P. wellsi are immature as well as damaged and fragmentary. They appear to agree with the females in general.
