To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuina Datty News."
Sin,—The third Asiatic Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History may yet be able to throw some light on the origin of the dragon. On a recent journey to Urga I met some members of the Expedition at Erhlien, the telegraph station in Inner Mongolia, 960 miles north of Kalgan, and was informed by them that they had found bones of the dinosaur on a Jand mark on the Kalgan-Urea telegraph road, a plateau 24 miles south of Erhlien. At the time I understood the name of the plateau to be Lung Hu Shan (fff FEW). Dragon Tiger Hill, but Chinese travellers inform me that the plateau is known as Lung Ku Shan (fA), Dragon Bone Hill. I hava asked Chinese who have travelled across Mongolia many times as to why the plateau is called Dragon Bone Hill, and the invariable reply from the Chinese has been that tha bones of the dragon are scattered all over the plateau.
The Expedition will insist that the bones found on Dragon Bone Hill are those of the dinosaur; the Chinese will insist just as firmly that the bones are those of the dragon.
I am, ete., 8. S.
