Fossils of Three Animals, Hitherto Unknown, Discovered by the Roy Chapman Andrews Expedition Peking, Aug. 17.
Mx, Roy Chapman Andrews and Mr, Walter Granger, interviewed by foreign correspondents this morning, ted that although dogged by ter-1 vistorms and equally terible heat, the former of which prevented the expedition from going to their intended destinations, they made wonderful discoveries. They did "nek ind the predawn man ly to see! to unknown to traces of a distinct new dinosaur, ome of whose eggs were discover:
Another important discovery concerns the culture of the mezolithic age, which was the transition period between the old and the new [atone age. These people lived 20,000 years ago and were apparently more numerous than the Mongols to-day. Thousands of their stone knives, drills and arrowheads and bone necklaces have been found. Mr. Andrews named them dune-dwellers as they lived in surface habitations along sand-dunes, One of the greatest finds was of the biggest mammoth ever known to have lived. The expedition secured two skulls and enough of the skeleton to make easy the work of reconstruction of the complete animal. Mr. Andrews estimates that the head was 25 feet from the ground and that the animal was of the same length and probably' weighed anything between 15 and 20 tons. He believes that this mammoth was confined to Asia and never migrated to Europe. Its humerus, which was found, is four' feet long and as thick ag'a man's body. One specimen, believed to be: complete, was found in a clay-hill. Owing to the inability to treaty if excavated the expedition were forced to leave such 2 huge fossil ill next. year, Another find was a pletely new branch. The top of the skull fs precisely like a aaddie, with nasal bone which soars upward, forming a saddle pommel. This also is entirely new to science.
Mr. Andrews said that another completely' new find was that of a hitherto unknown type of elephant, the lower jaw of which is six feet Jong. "This mastodon had four front teeth eight inches square and halt fan inch thick lying long the top find bottom of the mouth, pointing outwards, the grinding teeth being a second mouth, a cavity three feet behind, while the two cavities were joined by a small channel two to three wide. Tt had two tusks hut these projected only a few inches.
The dinosaur eggs, said Mr. Andrews, belonged to" a dinosaur hitherto unknown. They are more spherical than the former discovery and were found in an entirely different part of Mongolia.
Altogether the expedition has brought back 90 eases of specimens, which, states Mr. Andrews, la variety and new discoveries rival any collection ever brought from Mongo In. addition the expedition plored and mapped 1,000 squat niles of territory.
The whole party are in excellent health "and. intend returning to Mongolia next spring—Reuter, to Mukden to attend the funeral of the late Marshal Chang Tso-lin, has been bursting into something' like Poetry on the subject of Japan and Manchuria, Ina Press. intervi many important figures at Mukden convinced him that Japan has been prey to their tricks.
