FIRST M A'N 1 SEARCH. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. L>o. Mr Roy Chapman Andrews, the leader of the American expedition which found the skeleton of the world’s highest animal in the Gobi desert, Mongolia, sailed for New York to-day in the United States liner Leviathan. Before sailing Mr Andrews said the expedition intended to return to the Gobi Desert in April. He added : Our object is to find the remains of the pliocene man—who lived between 2,000.000 and 3,000,000 years ago, before the beginning of the ice age. The strata in parts of Central Mongolia is of the right age. Tile earliest man so far found belongs to the pleistocene— or ice age—about 1,000,000 years hack. We also expect to find traces there of the pre-man era. We are seeking 11io place where humans split off from the a]ie. Our expeditions so far have confirmed the theory that Central Asia was a dis- ' tribution centre for animal life, and we hope to obtain details ol the human side.
