During the past two years the
knowledge of the world has been en-

about twenty scientific expeditions
conducted under the direction Of the
Smithsonian Institution in many parts
of the world. An expedition to the
Altar mountains of Siberia resulted in
the collection OF more than six hun.
dred mammals, Of which eleven forms
are new to science. Of unusual inter.
est was the search for data in Siberia
concerning the race supposed to have
peopled America. Here DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, though able to make only a
rapid survey of the several localities
where the remains Of this race dwell,
gathered extensive information and
collections, from which he draws the
conclusion that there exist in several
places in Siberia, Mongolia, and Tibet
numerous remains of an ancient popu'
lation which was physically Identical
with and in all probability gave rise
to the American Indian. The hunt
