本文描述了在鲁道夫湖以东的上新世-更新世沉积物中发现的一个新的人科部分骨骼化石（KNM-ER 803）。它包括部分股骨，两个胫骨，尺骨，两个桡骨，第三跖骨和几个趾骨。还有两颗牙齿，一颗上犬齿和一颗上中切牙。第二个新的人科化石（KNM-ER 164）由一个顶骨碎片，两个椎骨和一些手骨代表。第三个是由一个巨大的左股骨（KNM-ER 999）。
标本解剖的详细描述，一些说明和选定的测量给出。作者认为它们应归属于人属。详细的比较研究将在适当时候发表。
A new fossil hominid partial skeleton (KNM-ER 803) that was discovered from the Plio-Pleistocene sediments to the east of Lake Rudolf is described. It includes parts of a femur, two tibiae, an ulna, two radii, a third metatarsal and several toe bones. There are also two teeth, an upper canine and an upper central incisor. A second new fossil hominid (KNM-ER 164) is represented by a parietal fragment, two vertebrae and some hand bones. A third is represented by a massive left femur (KNM-ER 999).
The specimens are described in anatomical detail, some are illustrated and selected measurements are given. It is concluded that they should be attributed to the genus Homo sp. indet. Detailed comparative studies will be published in due course.
