Abstract
IT is reported by Science Service that an expedition organised by Yale University under Prof. Hellmut de Terra is proceeding to Northern India with the object of investigating the geology and palæontology of the Salt Range, one of the smaller mountain ranges of Northern India, situated about eighty miles south of the Himalayas. This range, which is considered by some to be one of the key positions of Asia in the geological sense, is an area of great promise for these branches of research, as it has never been examined systematically for palæontological evidence. The expedition, it is hoped, may find there evidence bearing on the development of man. The members of the expedition, beside the leader, are Mrs. Hellmut de Terra, Prof. G. E. Hutchinson, and Mr. George E. Lewis.
