(P) The heatlhones of a prehistoric mon ster unearthed by Roy Chapman Andrews at the southern edge of the Gobi desert, Mongol, today were described by him'Sis indi cating the existence of a colossal unimal "about the size of the Wool worth building if the building were in a horizontal position." (The Woolworth building in New York City, is 792 feet high.) Dr. Andrews who is the leader of . the fourth central Asia.tic ex pedition, said: ' "This was bur biggest strike one' of the most "Interesting: finds ever- made. This entire area is rich in fossils. We found a mon ster in the same area In 1925. The saddle shaped headed creature dis covered on this expedition is bc ' lleved perhaps to he the great randfather of the "25 monster." The bead is very t,.,,ad and a peculiar feature is that its nose narrows in the middle and grad ually broadens toward the nostrils. Dr. Andrews said he was more than satisfied with his discoveries. He considered his finds vied with his finding of dinosaur eggs in 1923. The explorer said his discoveries included lots of baluchlterium fos sils and also several splendid skulls of a new type of nasal horn ed tltanotberiidae, quite different from any North American tltan otberiidae. The collection of fossils fills 80 cases. It was brought intact to Peking in automobiles although the expedition encountered floods be tween Knlgan and Peking against which thoy battled for twenty hours to save themselves and their relic. The journey from Kalgan to Peking required four days. Half or the expedition returned earlier than they had expected owing to the intense heat of the desert which exploded several . cases of gasoline causing a short age of fuel. The baluchltherlum was a mon ster quadruped of prehistoric times .related to the rhinoceros. Fossil remains of the animal were dis covered in the Gobi desert, Tial uchistan, in 1922 and indicate that It stood about 10 feet high and was 15 feet lonr. Tltanotherildae were a tertiary family of hoofed mammals. M iSOF BELGRADE. uff. ' 16.
