...physical anthropolo-gists." Hence the students of early human types must make the most of what they have. Two famed fossils of which much has been made are Peking man or Sinanthropus, found in the caves at Choukoutien about a decade ago by a Chinese scientist named Pei Wen-chung; and the Java apeman, Pithecanthropus erectus, discovered on the banks of Java's Bengaman River in 1892, by Dutch Anthropologist Eugene Dubois.

Mr. Soong (Harvard, 1915), if he wrote his name the old-fashioned Chinese way, would be Soong Tse-wen, but he chooses to be T. V. Soong, and never in any circumstances Tse-wen Soong.
