SIGNIFICANT Fossil Remains.

The question of the origin of the
West Indies will be decided. scientists
aver, when the indigenous animal life
is found to be related indisputably to
that of The South and Central Ameri-
can mainland. But mammals. which
being wingless, could not have flown
over the intervening seas, are unfor-
tunately the most poorly represented
group of the higher life of the Antilles.
For this reason much scientific inter
est attaches to recent expedition TO
Jamaica, backed by the American Mu-
scum of Natural History. asserts an
article in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. Believing that the West Indies
once had much larger mammal in
habitation than today, the expedition
concerned itself with the excavation
of fossil fauna from the islands lime
stone caves. Many fossils were found,
several of them new to science.
