B.C. 5TH AND 6TH EDITIONS, BENTLEY'S Dra Ja G., Anderson, Staten Historiska Museum, Stockholm, Sweden, Dear Dr, Anderson: Last year at the very end of the season we dis- covered just what we have been looking for —- a great new area of Pliocene strata the right age to contain the bones of primitive man if he existed in Mongolia. In the western and northern Gobi, where we did our previous work, this strata is almost absent. We did not have time to do more than superficially explore the new region, but this Season we shall study it carefully. All of us have great hopes for most important discoveries. There is, moreover, what we believe to be a com- 'plete skeleton of our new monster, It is lying on its right side, with the hind limb exposed in a small ravine, and the fore leg in another, twenty-five feet away. If it is as complete as we expect, this will be one of the most important and spectacular specimens that the Expedi- tion has thus far discovered. It requires So much special preparation for its removal that we had to leave it for the coming season. In order to complete the Expedition satisfactorily we must have $100,000., Already enough money has been ob- tained to justify us in going into the field, but we neeå urgently the full amount. If you feel that you can assist us this year I shall be very grateful for any amount. We need it badly. Faithfully yours, fö (pm Obuvs
