0093 20 21vraries. You will seethat the people here have been very n1iee and taken an active interest in supporting our archaeoloci- cal works For the present we &re busy witn labelling and registering the pottery,. stone, implenments and metal things, I wanted personally to descrive the ceramics, but the stone implemrents and the metal objects will be studied and described vy other specialists. I have also carefully removed the sol content of the pots and this soil samples will be carefully examined microscopically in the hope of finding some remains of gra ins or other vegetable substances which were probably kept in these nots. i 80 far I have unnvacked only about half of the whole materiel and 1t will not be possible to handle the rest, before we reach the more spac ious future quarters which will be ready early in the summer Our Grownorince, who ås you Know, is a sincere end able student of Far Eastern archaeology will start in May on a round the world VoyagOo. He will, accompanied by the Crown. princess, first go to the United States, wnere he will be present at the unveiling of the John Ericsson morumente. This 1s the official part of his mission amd after that he will go to see those Eastern lands for which he has been looking during many veers. In September he will be in Japan and about the ist of October the royal couple will reach Poking. The Orownprince he asked me to meet him there and I am naturally delighted to offer such humble services as will be within my power. Tne Crownprince plangs to stay about two months in China mostly in PeKing, when naking excursions in different direction3, to Inner Kongolia ( Hallong, 0830), to Tatung, to Honan, Snantung, etc. He will als0 visit all the scientific institutes in Peking and I feel sure he w1i11 be delieghted to see tie splendid P.U.M.C. and I feel convinsed that you all will like him, as he is the most charming nerson and a rarely earnest and thorough student of antiguities and arte After the Orownprince has left Ohina for India I hope to be able to go to Janan to study the really rediarkable Neolith1ic material of that cowtry ( Hubert Schmidt has recently written a most remarkable npaner proving wonderful relationship öf the Neolithic of Janan with that of Europe. fome of his facts are really smusing) . When returning home in February or March I will stay in Irkutzk and KrassnojarskK to study the ar chaeological collections Kopt ån these places. Part of the scientific wo xk with the Kansu collections will be hended over to European archaeoligists, but there is very much for me to do and the earliest tine I can think of starting for Turkestan will be newyear s time 1928. Dear Doctor Black, do not think that I hesitate for Ja moment, but I feel very heavily the responsability to watch the important material already 1n my hands. Possibly you will find vourself in a somewhat

MENSEN EEE 0094 3. similar »os itlon, as I think that also the skeleton material in your hands will rea ulre Bonslderable time, before it is fully described. ; Kindly write me at your earliest convenience to tell what you think about starting in the early part of 1928, For the rest I hope we will be able to go over the whole question in full detall, when we meet in Peking in the early autumn. when looking throvgn my corresnondence I notice to my deep regret that I had failed to instruct Doctor Wong about handi ng over to you copies of our jJolnt paper "Preliminary Report on Archaeological Research in Kansu". I have now written to him asking him to hand to you such number, as you like to hava I do not kKnowe whether I have properly thanked you for the copies of your splendid monograph on the human re- mains from Fengtien and Honan. Professor Furst, the retired professor of anatomy in Lund, hes written & review of yow research and I will send you abstracts of the same ( unfortunately in Swe- dish) as soon as it will be printed, Urs Andersson joins me in express ing to Mrs Flack sand yourself our most hearty congratulations for the safe arrival of the little Miss Black, the young person mentioned in your letter, I hope to hear from you about our Central Asia- tic plans and Will be delighted to have personal exchange of yours, when I reach Peking by the end of Septembers. Yours very truly, (9

” Y jä —— frn Stockholm March 31s8t 1926. Doctor Davidson Elack, Depar ment of Anatomy Peking Union kedical ; College, Peka Pn Es Ohina. Dear Doctor Black, I was dellghted to receive the 26th inst. your letter of February 9th which had been evidently long on the way, what 13 only natural during the present perturbed position of China, : I am delighted to learn from your letter that tnere 18 good prosnect for our joint expedition into Central Asia and that you probably by this tine have already gone over the matter in detail with Mr. Embree of the Rockfeller Foundation: It 2008 without saving that I am only too an. Xious to go inbUhinese Turkestan and stay there for two or three years and I am glad to confirm that my fSweaish friends are fully determined to do their very best in bacKring my efforts. However, I must tell you that I see littie chance for a start next January, as the preparations for the Scientific study and descrintion of my Kansu collection have taken much more time than originally expected. After ny arrival here it soon became evident that the funds at my disnosal for laboratory work ana also the i8aboratory querters were entirely unsatisfactory and that some more nermanent arrangemonts had to be made. After months of negotiations I have now arrived at a definite and quite satisfactory result. The Swedish govern- ment has offered me a research position with no dutles except studying and deseribing the Kansu collections and evidently un. dortaking new journeys in Ohina. I will be entirely free to make any arrengement for scientific cooperation with ny Ohinese col- leagvues and I will: be glad to discuss the details of such COOBB- ration, when I arrive in Pering about the lst of Bentember, I have been given very spacious and comfortable quarters, where I will be safe at least for the next ten years and a sun of 20,000 crowns has been put at my disnosal for buying such literature as 1s not to be found in the existing scientific
