The discovery of a dozen dinosaur's eggs in Mongolia is
the first fruit of a well-equipped American scientific expedition under Professor Andrews. Mr. Andrews is working in close touch with Professor Henry Osborn, whose theory that Mongolia is the "Cradle of Life" has become a well-known scientific hypothesis. The American scientists have the necessary funds and arc equipped with the proper apparatus for investigating the fossil-bearing strata of Mongolia. They have already discovered very large quantities of specimens, which go far to justify the contention that prehistoric life was nowhere more prolific than in Mongolia. The inter- vening conditions have been particularly favourable to the preservation of fossils. Epoch-making discoveries in comparative zoology and ultimately in that most exciting and controversial of all sciences—anthropology—may be hoped for.
