0613 THE NATIONAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CHINA 9 PING MA SSU, WEST CITY, PEIPING, CHINA er De ment, They all know that you are deeply engrossed in your work which is apt to be interrupted by attention to ordinary corres- pondence, but I do think that it is rather important to keep in touch with your colleagues out here, I know you would not consider me impertinent in making the above remarks and will forsgive me for my frankness., That is why I am taking this liberty. I have made out a tentative list of the 12 plates allowed me by my publisher and enclose it herewith, with the hope that you will let me have your valuable advice, I am allowed to put in as many text figures as I like, and I shall be very grateful for any suggestion from you. I want particularly to have your help in making illustrations of the Han (and Ts'in also), for we have very few examples here of your Suiyuan culture. Hoping to hear from you very soon, Yours sincerely, KA lr

O6!2, THE NATIONAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CHINA 9 PING MA SSU, WEST CITY, PEIPING, CHINA Prof, J. G. Andersson, Ostasiatiska samlingarna, Sveavagen 65, Stockholm VI, Sweden. My dear Dr. Andersson:- I have only just read your interesting article "Der Weg uber die Steppen", and am delighted to learn that you are preparing a book on chinese Prehistory, lfay I ask what progress have you made already? I am anxious to know your work not only because I am as usual interested, but also I have a4 4special reason of my own, I have at läst signed a contract with an English publisher, "The Cresset Press" to write a book which shall be called "China: a Study of the Growth of a civilisation", Further more I have to hand in my manuscript before 31 Dec, 1931, I am therefore very anxious to know your main conclusions. Will it be too much to ask you to let me know the mein results of your labour if your book is not sufficiently advance for me to use? On the other hand recent archaeological work done here is of very great interest. Above all Lichi's excavation at Anyang has settled 2 foundamental points: firstly the Yin was still in the aeneolithic period, for the stone im- pliments found were far more important and numerous; secondly there is a definite connection between the Anyang culture and that of Yangshao for Li found in the former also typical painted pottery ihough the unpainted inscised ware is far more important. Another fact of some importance is that Teilhard who has been travelling in Manchuria and Eastern Mongolia considers the northern neolithic (first described by Torii) as older than and different from the Yangshao, I enclose herewith a copy of a short notice he has just written at my request summa- rising the problem, My dear Dr. Andersson, please do not neg- lect your Peking friends who are deeply interested in what you are doing in Stockholm but who have been rather disappointed by your. slowness in answering their letters. Black tells me, for r exatiple, that last Dec, when the first Sinanthropus skull was dis- covered, he sent you a cable, but got so far no answer. Lichi today tells me that he sent you per Prof. Siren a photograph of the piece of painted pottery found at Anyang, but got no acknowledge-
