It is proved that tau(p) is the finest locally convex topology on X which is coarser than w(P). Furthermore, the convergence of sequences is considered, and sufficient conditions on X are obtained under which the convergent sequences for w(P) and for tau(P) either coincide with the weakly convergent sequences (when X has the Dunford-Pettis property) or coincide with the norm-convergent sequences (when X has nontrivial type). %~
