American Professor's Enthusi-asin over Finds Made by Asiatic Expedition Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn, President of the American Museum of Natural History, author of many books on past conditions, and one of the greatest American authorities on pre-historic nian, who has been staying at the Astor House for two days, told a representative of ''North-China Daily News" last Friday that he was very anxious to get to Pekin, and from there to the plains 0 Mongolia where the Third Asiatic Expedition are carrying on their task of discovery on anthropollogical lines.
Professor Qsborn stated that he would be in the northern regions for at least six weeks, and would leave Peking as soon as possible for Kalgan and from there to the American Museum camp to the north and northwest of that centre. This is a preliminary trip for him and he will return to Shanghai about the middle of October on his way back to America, but next year he proposes to make an active sojourn in the innermost recesses of the Mongolian Plain. Mr. Roy Chapman, Andrews, the personal head of the expedition, is to meet him at Peking and will conduct him. into the interior. The finds made by the party have been so extensive and so pertinent to the proof of present day theories and hypotheses regarding the beginnings of mankind, and are having so much bearing on future problems of the world and civilization, that it was thought that the original period of the expedition of five years, two of which are unexpended will not. be sufficient and it is highly probable that an extension will be secured.
