Fig. 2. A chart of the larger vertebrates whose remains are represented in Mem- 

 bers 1-3 at the Swartkrans cave (Brain and Watson, 1992). Figures after each taxon 

 represent minimum numbers of individuals represented in the fossil remains from the 

 Lower Bank (Member 1), Hanging Remnant (Member 1), Member 2, and Member 

 3, respectively.
