Abstract:Since my last report before this Society, work has progressed on the Sinanthropus skull specimen till at the present time its whole external surface has been freed from travertine, with which however its interior remains filled. During their preparation the major parts of both parietals and the whole of the

Abstract:During a spring trip made the last year (1929) in the Chang Chun, Harbin and Hailar districts, opportunity was given to us to collect some facts which may help to link the Chinese to the Manchurian or East Mongolian

Abstract:Much has been written about the age of the Chihsia Limestone, little is however made known of its stratigraphical boundaries. This unfortunate state of affairs has led to rather confused arguments which would not have

Abstract:Reasons are given for the introduction of two new stage-names in the series of steps by which the present land-surface has evolved. The term Paote Stage is proposed for the long-recognized phase of aggradation (between the Tanghsien and Fenho erosional stages) during which the Red Clays and high gravels accumulated. The importance of the Chingshui Stage has not previously been appreciated, but it is now clear that an epoch of erosion separated the Sanmen and Malan (loess) Stages of accumulation. When Dr. Andersson first applied the term Fenho Stage to the dissection seen in the Chaitang Basin, Dr. V. K. Ting had not yet discovered the Sanmen beds. With the recognition that these beds were not an isolated deposit but represented a distinct change of conditions which left its mark widespread over Northern China, it became necessary to establish the exact relationship between the Sanmen and Fenho in Willis's type area.

Abstract:In a previous paper I have described at some length the geological structure of the Peking plain, and explained how this governs the underground flow of water. The present paper is intended to supplement the earlier one.

Abstract:The following notes are rapidly written as part of the result of a five days excursion. It has been made on a geological expedition to Szechuan during the summer of 1929, executed under the auspices of the Sunyatsen University of Canton and of the Geological Survey of Kwangtung and Kwangsi.

Abstract:In the summer of 1928 a new locality of glacigene sediments and moraines of late Palaeozoic age was discovered in the mountain ranges of Kuruktagh, which border the Tarim basin on the north between long. 88~0-99~0 and lat. 40~0-42~0 N.
