MUSEUM EXPEDITION SECURES SPECIMENS
Rare Fossils Collected For The University Are Unique and Varied
MARTIN HEADS THE PARTY
Northwestern Kansas and Ne braska Were Explored for Interesting Relics
Remains of an early pre-historic three-trood horse, the skull of an early camel about the size of a small deer, and the head and part of the body of a land lizard were among the rare fossils discovered and secured for the University by the scientific party sent into Northwestern, Kansas and formerly formerly by the department of paleontology of the department, who headed the party, reported it as the most successful of his thirty-two trips.
The material brought back includes:
the fossil remains of the pre-historic,
dairy mastodon; bones of the three-toed horse, anchorse of the present horse; skins and parts of the skeleton of bloodless larger than any extant today; the bones of diceratherium, a form of land rhinoceros; remains of the dinoxyn, a monstrous hog as big as an elephant; several bones of an extremely rare fossil, the moropus, an animal resembling the giraffe in build with elongated neck; ancient bones and skull of a resembled a big wart wolf with eyes on the top of its head; vestiges of the poehrotherium, an early form of camel about the size of a deer; petrified turtles three feet across; and the minutely preserved head of a land lizard known as a specimen are known to exist, neither of which is as complete as one found.
Accompanying Mr. Martin on this six-week trip were E. Raymond Hall, c24, and Neil Thornburg, c24. Hall a major in the department of zoology collected a large number of bird and animal skins for Dyche Museum. The trip was made in a Ford truck which made it possible to visit a great many more bone beds than has heretofore been possible.
Phillips, Norton, Decator, Rawlings, and Cheyenne counties were visited. Bone beds hitherto unvisited by scientists were disclosed here. Northwest of Atwood, Kansas, in the Pleistocene formation, the party spent two weeks working on a big bone deposit of the bison occidentalis a form of buffalo, which draws the present animal. Mr. Murris be fifty or sixty of the skeletons in the bed. The bones are at the foot of a bluff. In ages past the herd must have sought refuge from storm in the shelter of the bluff, been snowed under and perished. The bodies were covered over with the pliushman and the bones preserved, and deepplowed the bed, but several hundred pounds of skulls, lower jaw, and other bones were secured.
From Northwestern Kansas the party went to the famous Agate Springs fossil quarry in Sioux County, near Wichita onbeka about 25 miles north of Harrison.
The Agate Springs quarry is probably due to a lake or river deposit formed by an eddy in the current. Thousands of bones of odd and freakish animals of the past sink into the bottom of the whirlpool and were covered over. It was here that the party secured bones of rhinoceros and of the dinohus, a hog as big as an elephant. This big fellow inhabited mangroves, consuming vegetable matter exclusively. A few bones were also found here of the moropus, a big animal with high sloping winters, sloping back like a coffe, short stout neck, and a big 4.
In this deposit the party secured a slab of material fourteen inches thick and about four feet square containing three or four of the rhinoceros skulls and a number of other bones. It weighed 1450 pounds and
Oread High Enrolls Fifty-five
Fifty-five students have enrolled in the Oread Training School, and, in contrast to last year, when a large per cent of the pupils were specials from the University, only six are specials this year. According to Prof. W. H. Johnson, director of the school, new classes have been started in dramatic art and music, and a debate team has been organized. They are taking up dramatics this year because the school is located in In athletics, they are beginning to use basketball and later on they in to try other sports.

is made up entirely of fossil bones. The slab is now at dcy Museum and is to be set up on edge. One side is to be folded, while the
other is only to be partly cleared. It will make one of the finest exhibits in the Museum.
On War Bonnet Creek, over twenty skulls and various parts of the oreodant and related forms were unearthed. The oreodant is a very rare fossil. There is nothing like it today. It has the teeth both of the herbivorous and the carnivorous animals and was about the size of a sheep. A fine skull was secured of what was probably a lover of the water, for its eyes are nearly on the top of its head.
