rising, perhaps as high as 10000 feet
or more above sea level.
This theory of the mountains and
rivers rests on Spencer'S studies and
charts of the ocean floor of the region.
Spencer concluded from the cOnfOrma-
ton of the sea bottom that in tertiary
times there must have been an ele-
walton of this surface of somewhere
between Ia and 21a miles. AS the
ridges of the sea bottom seem to fol-
low out the general direction of the
mountain ranges at present existing
on the islands, he derived the theory
that the under-sea ridges and the is
land ranges were originally parts of
the same system. AS the island ranges
have an altitude of from 1000 to 5000
feet, the mountains of the al0w dis
appeared continent would have been
something like 10000 feet high. The
channels in the under-sea surface, rum
ming at right angles to the. ridges
seem to have been cut by great rivers
flowing down the mountain sides.
ITO the eastward this continent took
in the recently acquired Danish West
Indies, while to the westward it's linn
its must have taken in part of what is
now Central America. Because of the
strategic position of Jamaica in its
relation to the Central American MAIN
land and to such hypothetical An
tiilean continent, it was highly Inn
portant that the fossil fauna of ia
maica be explored"
He was successful in conducting
such an exploration, and was able to
verify in most satisfactory manner
his belief that the island would be
found to have a fossil fauna He Sc
cured several fossil mammals new to
science, which, found In Pleistocene
formations, must date back approxi-
mately 100000 years. Most of the
materials were secured in exploring
the limestone caves, and the mammal
remains were found cemented in a
very hard limestone breccia from
which they could be extracted only
after laborious quarrying. The greater
part of the collection was brought
back to the museum on large blocks of
limestone and much time and work
will be necessary before the material
can be satisfactorily identified and
conclusions drawn.
Enough has been exposed, however,
to show that Jamaica was formerly
the home of one or two gigantic ro-
dents, larger than any living today,

ing type, whose closest ancestors lived

NElLLINERS and millinery depart
1V1 ments are featuring new displays
of hats made for midsummer wear
and calling attention to the distinctive
character of this headwear. The spring
hat makes its appearance very early
helping to beguile us with thoughts
OF bright and balmy days that usually
lag far behind their cheerful harding
erS.
The newA displays for summer wear
include hats for all occasions as may
be gathered by glance at the MIL
linery pictured above. Here are street
and dress hats with an example OF a
sport model. The most unusual hat
in the group is made of plain and OF
brocaded georgette with slipper straw
and piping braid contributing the I'M
expected but effective touches in It's
composition. The crown is Of plain
georgette with three rows of piping
braid stitched about it, the brim OF
brocaded georgette, built up with sew
eral rows of slipper straw about the
edge and at intervals on the straw,
small, fiat, feather ornaments traverse

with narrow Irish lace and the girdle

There is nothing prettier or more
practical than taffeta in light, flower

they are enchanting when quaint styles
are chosen for them and scarfs or

bride follows the lead Of fancy. There
is nothing like taffeta for freshness
and sprightliness. Sometimes 1t
serves as a foundation for much airy
tulle drapery and flowers simply be-

There is every chance of success when
taffeta is chosen for bridesmaids and

festivities and parties.

through the West Indies.
The museum has been carrying on
active work in the West Indies for
several years, having been, especially
energetic since 1916, when the discov-
cries of fossil mammals of Porto Rico
disclosed the possibilities awaiting
West Indian research. Naturalists
have always been attracted not so
much by the intrinsic interest of the
forms of animal life to be found in
the Antilles, as by the more absorbing
problem: "How did life arrive on
the lslands?' 1t was to seek further
light on this question in particular
that Captain Anthony was sent to con-
tinue the Investigations which he had
already begun in this region. He re-
turns with great accumulation of
material and data bearing on the prob
lem. Questioned concerning the vari-
Gus theories of the arrival of life on
the islands, Captain Anthony said:
ut was at first assumed that the
islands, lying outside the limits of the
continental shell, were of oceanic or
tgin and were built up by coral
growth or elevated by volcanic or
seismic activity. But if this were true
the islands would be devoid of all
forms which might arrive on oceanic
islands in the natural course of events
and those lower forms of life whose
disposal is subject to such fortuitous
agencies of distribution as hurricanes,
water spOuts, etc., which transport the
eggs from place to place..
But the fact is that other forms OF
islands. The mammals are the most
poorly represented group of the high
er animals of the West Indies, YET In
ciude varieties which might be ex-
pected to encounter great difficulty in
crossing the long stretches of sea
to traverse before they could estab-
lish themselves on the newly-created
islands. For this very reason the
ynammaIian fauna of the West Indies
tn IFS relation to the continental
fauna furnishes one Of the best points
Throughout the thousands of is
lands in the Antillean group there are
only few mammals, aside from bats,
10 be encountered The remarkable
poverty of this fauna has been the
cause of much comment among nat
uralists. That the condition Of the
fauna today does not truly represent
the mammalian history of the islands
has been suspected for some time,
and the efforts of the museum have
been especially directed toward ascer-
tanning the complete history of the
West Indian mammals from earliest
times. Assemblages Of fossil mann
gmals have been discovered in Porto
Rico and Cuba, indicating the possi-
bility that at one time the West Indies
had a much larger mammal inhabita-
ton than today.
"These fossils, which are of ancient
types and strange ancestry. strongly
suggest, IL not the existence of some
mainland connection far back in the
geological age, at least the union at

needs no imagination to conclude that
this is a difficult hat to make, an ex-

For the off-the-face brim and lower
part of the crown the silk is shirred
in close rows. What milliners call a
