Mountainous West China

Prof. Gregory's Expedition to Szechuan: An Interesting Problem to Solve Still another expedition is being organized to aid in the work of Mr. A. de C. Sowerby and others in getting reliable information of the lesser known regions of China. This time it is a veteran who is coming into the field, for Professor J. W. Gregory, who proposes to explore the mountainous borderland of Yunnan and Szechuan, with his son as his only European companion, is now in his 58th year. It is rather an ambitious thing to attempt, but it is quite in line with what Professor Gregory has been doing all through his life since he came to years of manhood.
