He was awarded the Hubbard Medal of the National Geographic Society in recognition of his achievements, as well as tokens from other learned societies. As leader of the several expeditions of the American Museum to Mongolia and China, which were originally organized with the purpose to discover the ancestry of man, Doctor Andrews, with a well organized scientific staff, has conducted explorations on an unprecedented scale, and the researches made on these journeys cover the geologic, topographic, paleontologic, archaeologic and biotic survey of Mongolia. Doctor Andrews will tell the story of his experiences on these expeditions; of his discovery of the colossal Baluchitherium, largest of land mammals; of the giant predator Andrews-archus, greatest of all carnivora; of the huge shovel- tusked mastodons, and many smaller forms. The lecture will be illustrated with still and motion pictures. INTER-MONTHLY MEETING, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1935 WILLIAM L.
