Urga, Mongolia, Sept. % (By A.
P0-Prof. Peter Kozloff. Russian ex-
plorer, has discovered near here an
enormous number of skeletons. of

the animal and reptile world. Among
the fossils already unearthed by Prof.
KoZloff and his assistants are those
OF % quadrupeds of undesignated
species. 15C birds of varying sizes,
100 reptiles, snakes and fishes and
more than 1000 insects of giant size.
Professor kozloff last June dis.

world last year by discovering nests
of dinosaur eggs and showed that the

The nature OF his discoveries is so
important that the Russian scientist
