a his opening remarks Mr. And-Tews xaferred to the introduction of; Mr. Tong Shao-yi, the Chairman, in a. very complimentary manner, emphasizing the fact that a scientist Is truly international, rather universal, for one who has the true scientific bent works for the good, and advancement of mankind. Thia was the greatest factor in science.
Mr. Tong. galore a great pleasure to welcome the famous American explorer, who has devoted a large share of his life to a study of the past of our nation. Sir his excavation in Weatern China and Mongolia, Mr. And-tows Is studying the lite of the Chinese and other peoples, which have inhabited Central Asia at a time when that part of the world was ip reality the Middle Kingdom. When we think of the greatness of Changon and Karakhorum we realize how deep was the. cultural development of the Chinese and ether peoples which now comprise the Republic of China.

We cannot disregard the work done by our universities and by sugh organizations as the Geological Survey China, but there should be more men doing this work—and there should be greater results.

The Temple of Heaven is overgrown with rank grass. Every monument and pallu is discoloured with moss. Yet we do nothing. Mr. Andrews' -presenee and the knowledge of the great work he is doing should inspire us to do something constructive ourselves.
The Origin of the Races "Dhe speaker stated that originally, they had nothing to work upon in theft proposal to find the origin of the ace; they arrived at the conclusion that the plateau of Central Asia helld: primary life through inductive Teasoning. It was a process of elimination. But the early mammals and reptiles that had been found in Europe apd America must have had their beginning somewhere through the elimination of pos lites they believed that the high and dry land of this region must! prove rich in ancient lore.
In commenting on his difficulties, Mr. Andrews xomarked that the Chinese Gealogicel Survey in Peking had given him every friendly cooperation, and, when they found the dinosaur eggs in 1983, they. presented to this Museum a number of this year, he went composed of repre-motor cars and 125 camels There were specialists in botany and palsobotany. With the application of these sciences to the region explored, they had hoped to be able to deter-ming the eluate of the vila, Sar as plants indicated climate, 50 climate indicate the whys and wherefores of migration. The men in the force were now able to state the! climate of that country for the past, 100,000,000. years (an in the aydjence—"Why not let us have one man for the Siccawei Observatory".) dinosaur skulls and 14 skeletons and one crocodile (why this animal was here he did not know). In: addition in two of the eggs they found embryos, identified as dinos-our. People also argued that! dinosaurs from 75 to $0 feet in Tength should lay eggs as Jarge as an office cafe, but these came from small animals nine or 10 feet long. 2 "An inch of egg (they were nipa Inches long) for a foot of dinosaur, was a good record."
The Press would have been happy, had they found the "missing ink," but they (the party) would have [been more happy, he continued. They had scientific foundation now for the belief that next year the; might find haman bones of primitive man. In the past two years the outlook was dubious, but now he ex. pected he would be successful. They! en this most recent expedition found the implements of the Dune Dwel-Jers, people who lived certainly }Gobi for 26,000 years, beginning 95,000 years ago. Thay found pottery of the Nealithic Age, similar to that of the Azilian peoples of France, but probably much sider, for the dwellers migrated to Europe from the plateaux.
