Let E be a separated, locally convex topological vector space and F a commutative family of nonexpansive mappings defined on a quasi-complete convex (not necessarily bounded) subset X of E. In this paper, it is proved that if one of the mappings in F is condensing with a bounded range then the family F has a common fixed point in X. This result improves several well-known results and supplements a recent result of E. Tarafdar (Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 13 (1975), 241–254) for such mappings.
