But many years ago, Wan travelling as the minigg expert of the Chinese gonxernment, I visited Han Tan Hsien in the close vicinity of Hsiao-t"un, so I think thet I have a fairly good idea about the general type of the landscape. There is haråly any doubt äh&t the sediment attached to the bone objects from Hsiao-t" un is loess. At any rate, the specimen in our | possession show patches of l0ess. On the other hand, it means very little that the sediment is 10ess, petrologically spoken. As shown in my paper " Essays on the Cenozoic " of northern China ". Memoirs of The Geological Survey of China, Series A. Number 3. March 1923., the originally eolian loess has been repeatedly redeposited by wind and water, and there 1is hardly any doubt that the loess attached to the Hsiao-t"un things is of this secondary type. I do not know whether my brief explanation will suffice for your purpose. The Hsiao-t"un are a most faseinating puxzle which I have discussed lately with a number of scientists, such as Umehara, Hamada and Kuämmel, I am forced to write a passage on these bone things for 0738, my book China before History, now in preparation. If mour commentars on these bone objects will appear in a near future, I ask you kindly to send me a reprint of the same.
