FIND MANY RELICS
Amherst Men Make Many Dis.
! coveries In Patagonia.
Biological Expedition Now on Its way
Homo With Many Scientific Treas-
ures and After Finding q Col.
ony Of Prosperous Hoers.

New Yorks--After having passed six
months devoted to scientific expiora-
ton in the wilds Of interior Patagonia,
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and q fund OF interesting ex-
periences.
The expedition, which left for Pata-
gonia on July 8 last, Is in charge OF
Prof. r. g.. Loomis OF the chair OF
biology In Amherst college. His asso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst,
1911; Layton Turner, Amherst 1912,
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro-
fessor Loomis by bis associates In
Amherst and from Mr.. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
ical specimens and gathered much val
liable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more or less COM
plete prehistoric skeletons, ID skulls
and a large number OF Jaws, which in
ciude Hne specimens of the Eocene-
horse. elephant, rodent, prfmate.
notostylopus and a large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party.
Some of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, in some instances at
levels a thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens Of petrt-
fed trees, some six feet In diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven In by Atlantic storms of the
prehistoric ages. In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft of these huge trees. Members
of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alligators and turtles,
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells OF biyalses
similar to the oyster, but d foot or
more IN diameter, were found In the
same locality.
The present expedition is the third
OF q series which has been financed
by the Amherst class OF 1896.
