Abstract
A study of Early Miocene cercopithecids recovered recently from Buluk, northern Kenya, emphasizes the morphological similarities of early monkeys from northern and eastern Africa. The Buluk specimens show close affinities with the North African Prohylobates and the East African Victoriapithecus. The two genera share characters which are not found in the later cercopithecid subfamilies but which define the subfamily Victoriapithecinae.Keywords
