Their affinities remained unknown until a few months ago, when ex-. cavations at Larkana in Sind pro-

At once a reply came from Professor Supce, giving the information that the devices and characters were definitely Sumerian, and other authorities corroborated this information.

Some big questions are suggested by these new discoveries. Did the Sumerian civilisation originate in India.or did it come here from else where?
