Abstract
Three new fossil hominid specimens that were recovered in 1970 from the Plio‐Pleistocene sediments to the east of Lake Rudolf are described. They include the left side of the body and the symphyseal region of an adult mandible that contains three molar teeth (KNM‐ER 730), an edentulous left‐sided mandibular fragment (KNM‐ER 731) and the shaft of a left femur (KNM‐ER 737).The specimens are described in anatomical detail, illustrated and selected measurements given. It is concluded that they should be attributed to the genus Homo sp. indet. Detailed comparative studies will be published in due course.Keywords
