0843 THE NATIONAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CHINA PEIPING BRANCH 9 Ping Ma Ssu. West city. Peiping. China, 2 1)- I and a group of young archaeologists are planniwg to esganize one "Iha Arehaeological Society of China" and published Bull ån iu Both Buropean and Chinese language. We have decideed to elect you afro nweary Member, "hen you secieve a formal letter of this Society please accept it, At the same time we hope you eould write a few line on the outlook of the arohaeological work in China better 69 handwriting and we can produce it in the first number of the Bulletin, Norsover please senå me one of your portrait anf I have written an artiele on your work in China hbpe to publish it with your portrait. 2) I have obtained some fund from fansu Province and the Geological Sur- vey and decided to go to Kansu for hunting fossils and archaeological objects, Vy trip will start in June or Juky. But if I trop the idea to go to the South I may go to Kansu earlier, Please write to me and tell me what is the most im- portant sites where I ought to investigate or restudy. Of course I have learned meh from your article in 3.F.E.4. no.15,1943, In any oase before I go to fansu I would like to commnieate with you and ask your advice. 3) I have in hand a collection of microlithic industry from Djalainor where some Qaternary fossils and some human skull discovered by Japs and at much earlier date by Russians, It is a very important collection and comes to my hand through some Japs. I would like to make a good study on it and hope to publish this article in the 3ull, of Far Eastern Antiquity. At the same time I will write to Prof. Karlgren directly, In China I find no suåtable journal to publish it. 4) I hope to go to Europe once more to train myslef to meet the need ofr the research in Chinese prehistory. Espeoially I would like to study the col- lection in the Fez Eastern Museum, Put It seems there is little chance from Chinese side. I wonder if you coukd manage to get some fund either, Sweden or in England, I can give a series of lecture on Chinese preshistory and new develop- ment of erchaeological work in Bbina.Please keep it in mind and wait for a chance . Perhaps it is too mush for today. I hope to hear from you soon and koep constant contact with you. Let me pray for your good heatth and happpiness for ypur time.Wany thanks and regarås. Very sbncerely yours, a RN Pei ,We 4

VELA THE NATIONAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CHINA PEIPING BRANCH 9 Ping Ma Ssu. West city, Peiping. China, Peiping,lst. April 1947, Vy dear Dr. Andersson, Fisrt of all please accept my best greetings and com- liments. I and many students in arohaeology in China hope you will have a good time in your country and enjoy your retired life th your home land, Since long time I intented to write to you but failed, simply, because in such a bad situation as China has to-day,I hesiate to tell you any thing and can not ask you to do anything to help us. However I take the opportunity that Dr. Nystrom is going to Sweden by the most rapid way and ask him kindly bring my letter to you and tell you something about our work in China. - let me first start from the Geological Survey. The Survey is now re-established in Nanking,942 Chukiang Road, and Dr. C.Y.Lee is still the Direotor.Concerning the publioations of your "North China prehistorio sites.. " and others, please write direotly to him. It is'treat pity that part of your collection of kansu pottersperhaps has dispersed but the human skeletons in Pelping are more or less $1l right. Dr. Wong is now director of China Oil Co, lSéems he has no more scientific interesting. Teilhard is in Faris and we hope he will be back from S.Africa(where he is going to make excavation of Australopithecus) to China and work in the Survey. Weidenreich is still in New York and working on the Fithecanthropus material to-gether with koenisgwald in American Museum. Grabau,poor man, passed last ysar in Karch in Peiping in the Survey's Compound(3,Feng-Sheng Futung). The trouble for the Survey is that we can not go out to the field and have no suffioeint money if we actually carry on cour work, Peiping is now a branch office and the director of this office is one young geologist,P.kao. And I am staying in this office as one geologist and at the same, toäching Prehistory and Human Palaeontology in the National University. Conoerning the Cenozcio Hesearch Laboratory everything is very sad, The originals of Sianthropus have been lost during the War. All other Spoginansr thes pgaly damaged or dismembered. Rockfeller Foundation formally acknowledged us,åt the present time the Foundation will not consider any more Naturally the excavatian at Choukoutien will be impossible to resume- he financial situation of the Chinese Governrent can not meet this expense. Por some other feild work we have no fund. Since long time I planed to go to the South of Yangtse to explore the caves in order to look for more speci- mon of Gianthopitheons but the necessary expense is difficult to get. In such a oondition the laboratory ås actually dead and we can not expect something better in the near future. Dr. C.C.Young ia now in Nanking. He will come to Peiping in a few days to re-arranged the Lab. But we are sure no good result can be expected. As for mysolf,fisst I hope in the future I will oontirue what you have done in China, But, being a Chinese and lacking good foundmental training,I afraid I oan not be one of your good succerssor. I will do my best. Kow I an very interesting in Prehistory and many young Chinese too. In this concern I here ask you to do some favor for u
