Among the many books appearing in 1959, marking 

 the centennial of the pubhcation of The Origin of Spe- 

 cies by Charles Darwin, the group of ten essays spon- 

 sored by the American Philosophical Society {164} is 

 particularly noteworthy. Every essay has been prepared 

 by a writer of outstanding competence in his field of evo- 

 lution. In the discussion of Australopithecus I have 

 closely followed the first of these essays, 'The Crucial 

 Evidence for Human Evolution,' by Le Gros Clark. 



For other discussions of the origins of man and the 

 significance of the australopithecines, reference may be 

 made to Howells {166}, Krogman {167}, Schultz {170}, 

 Simpson {171}, Gregory {33, p. 480}, Robinson {169}, 

 Straus {173} and Zuckerman {174}. 



G. Elliot Smith's {172} older volume on the evolution 

 of man is a classic that can be recommended to the non- 

 technical reader. The 1927 revision is to be preferred to 

 the original print of 1924. This work, of course, antedates 

 the discovery of Australopithecus. 



The role of the foot in the evolution of the bipedal 

 habitus is discussed by Morton {168}.
