ARCHAEOLOGIST

TO VISIT COLONY

TO EXAMINE LOCAL FINDS Recent important archaeological discoveries in Hongkong by the Rev. D. Finn, S.J., Professor J. L. Shellsbear and Mr. W. Schofield have awakened such interest at the recent Congress held in Oslo that Dr. Anderson, of Stockholm, one of the world's most famous archaeologists, has announced his intention of visiting this Colony in the near future.

Hongkong was represented at the Oslo Congress by the Rev. Father Finn, who made a full report of the discoveries in this Colony.

Some of the most famous archacologists in the world were present at the Oslo Congress held at The beginning of last month.

Hongkong was represented by Rev. D. Finn, J. of the Regional Semin- ary, Aberdeen,

Dr. van Stein Callenfells, one of the greatest living authorities on the pre-history of the East, who visited Hongkong last year and spoke at the Rotary Club, emphasised strongly the importance of Fr.
