PIEPING, China, October Bring
ing a record bag Of prehistoric fossils,
the Central Asiatic Expedition led by
DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews, the Ameri-
can anthropologist, returned here today
after five months Of intensive work in
the Cobb Desert.
In the opinion Of Walter G. Granger,
chief paleontologist, who directed oper-
atoms in this fieid, this years collection
is the biggest and scientifically the most
important made by the expedition since
its first exploration In 1922.
Represents Is Species.
Fossils representing about 76 different
species, several of them new to science,
have been found and are expected to
throw much additional light upon the
evolution and dispersal of animal life
millions of years ago. No human re-
mains thus far have been discovered,
but DR.. Andrews does not consider that
this rules out the possibility that fore
runners of the Peking man yet may be
found In the Cobb region.
I'VE still think" said DR.. Andrews,
"that If we are allowed to continue our
investigations We shall find traces Of
primitive man. But this can be done
only by thorough exploration" He an
