A search for a supposed submerged continent between the Indian and African coaSt s and Arabian Sea, will be undertaken next year by an expedition headed by Colonel Seymour Sewell, director of zoological survey, India. The expedition will also investigate the life of rare marine animals supposed to exist in th e Arabian Sea. An attempt will be made to capture monsters believed to live i n midwater, never rising to the surface or sinking to the bed of the ocean.
The expedition will attempt to discover traces of continental areas supposed to have stretched to the westwards from India, many thousands of years ago. The continent is known to scientists as “Lemuria,” the existence of which is based on similar fauna ■present on the Indian and African coasts of the Arabian 'Sea.
