The young skipper added he was ''ab-
solutely convinced of that fact"
Simmons was reluctant to draw
conclusions from the work of himself
and his assistants. There is much
to be done, he pointed OUT, in classi-
flying his specimens and analyzing
his information before any definite
estimate of the expeditions accom-
plishments can be summed up.

ceives instructions from Paul NJ. Rea,
director of the Cleveland museum.
Capt. Simmons said Mr.. Rea was in
charge Of the expedition, directing its
operations from long range.
More than 10 900 specimens of
plant and animal life We're gathered
by the expedition and catalogued by
Capt. Simmons. with the assistance
of w. Kenneth Cuyler Texan, who

It was taken on the southern edge
of the Sargossa Sea, where some 80

small specimen, a flying fish about
two-thirds of an inch in length, was
believed by Capt. simmons to be a
new species.

Birds taken ranged from the wee
metallic sun bird TO the giant alba

had a wing spread of 125 inches.
Capt. Simmons said he and his
crew defed all superstition of the sea
not only in killing several albatross,
but in taking golden dolphin.
