. CHINA STRUGGLES
TO KEEP UP WITH
SCIENTIFIC WORK
BERKBLEY, March 1.—Despite
ha fact that it is suffering from the
widespread destruction of a major
m’litary invasion, the Republic of
China is pressing: the work of nonmilitary scientific investigation and.
research with new vigor. Although a
number of its major educational in:titutions are closing up under the
yersuasion of shell fire, they are reopening under emergency conditions
elsewhere and significant new diseoveries in the field of paleontology
and other of the sciences are being
constantly reported.
Proof of this is offered by Professor Ralph ‘W. Chaney of the department of paleontology in the University of California, in the ano°-neement that the National Geological Survey, a department of the
“hinese republican government, is
to jssue the second section of a vol/umé& on the paleontology of China
: through. the agency of the Carnegie
‘Institution of Washington, D. C., in
hich Professor Chaney is a_ research associate. Funds already have
seen received from the survey for
the printing and paper stock, and,
in order to guarantee the least possible delay, the textual material is
being sent to Professor Chaney for
assembling and final preparation.
Foremost in this work is Dr. HsenHsu Hu,-a-graduate of the University of California with the class of
1916, and a student of Professor
William A. Setchell, former
man of the department of botany,
