of primitive humans were found this

and that eventually they will be
found" said Mr.. Andrews
THE theory that Central Asia was
the point of origin for much of the
reptilian and mammalian life of the
world has been greatly strengthened.
We have discovered in Mongolia the
existence of several great groups of
mammals which previously were
known only from America or Europe.
THE feet and part of the legs of
the giant Baluchitherium. the largest
land mammal that ever lived were
discovered. Some three million years
ago, this great beast had sunk in
ouicksand and was fossilized in an up
right position.
For the first time archaeology added

in the Cobb desert two Old Stone Az.
