Starting this morning at eight o'clock, and every day from eight to five an yone may visit this ex- hibition room, although the entir., exhibit is not yet comnpleted. hExpeditions Bring Material Most of the material which is on exhibition on the s wcond floor is the result of a nuinber of expedi- tions undertaken by the paleonto- logy museum under the direct-on o9 Dr. Ermine C. Case during the last five or six years. The spedi- mens recovered are from theup- per Triassic beds of Western Texas. The staff has been pe-, culiarly fortunate in recovering ! the remains of a number of great Amphibians and Reptiles of this particular geological region. The first specimen of impor- tance that was brought back was a fairly complete skeleton of an entirely unknown species of rep- tile, which has been named by the paleontology department, Desma-C tosuchus. Another exhibit of rare interest is the skull of a giant Amphibian which is in the .most perfect condition of any in the world. The speciman hastbeen named after Mr. W. H. Buettner,, the preparateur of the specimens. It is known as Buettneria. Find Notable Specimen In 1927 an expedition from the paleontology museum to Howard couny, Texas, discovered the skull of 'a Phytosaur which is regarded as the largest and most perfect speciman of its kind ever found. This unique exhibit weighs over 450 pounds and the skull is over four feet long. This remarkable specimen is on exhibition in a case with two other very perfect skulls of Phytosaurs. The exhibi- tion contains a nearly complete specimen of a smaller Dinosaur, and a few bones and teeth of some of the larger forms. Professor Case when interview-4 ed about the exhibition said, "We have here in the museum of the versity of Michi ;an the. best iagrams with the idea that the vis- so that resentation of the reptilion life itor may obtain a general idea ofj the foss the Triassic fossil beds which the gradual evolution of life the ger sts in any institution, through geologic time." tion."

We are officially informed that the selection of Chesterfield resulted from the individually expressed preferences of a majority of the expedition's members. When it is recalled that these are-in superlative sense - picked men ... selected not only for bravery, ability and experience, but also by searching tests of physila1 fitness...we may be forgiven for our considerable pride in their vote. And somethingof this pride, we believe, will be shared by all Chesterfield smokers. It is another of the many proofs piling up that the surest way to earn popularity is to deserve it!
