STUDY OF BIRD OBJECT OF TRIP

Prof. H. H. Nininger to Go From S. Dakota to Mexico

     McPherson, Kan. - A study of bird life from South Dakota to Mexico City
and back along the western coast of Mexico said the United States to Canada,
will be made this summer by Prof. H. H. Nininger, head of the biological
department of McPherson college here.
     Professor Nininger will make the trip under the auspices of the
National Oralthology society, and it is expected to result in the most
important discoveries in the interests of oralthology.
     The party will start from western South Dakota and travel in a house
car built especially for the purpose.
     Care will be taken to keep well ahead of cold weather, so that the
birds can be studied in advance of the migratory period for the American
species.
     Crossing the Rio Grande, the party will continue south, gathering data
on the species both rare and common to Mexico. While there, the migratory
birds of the northland, which will have sought winter quarters, will be
closely observed.
     From the City of Mexico, Professor Nininger will move northward,
traveling along the western coast of Mexico and the United States until the
Canadian border is reached.
     Colleges and universities along the route in both countries have asked
Professor Nininger for his disclosures.

FINDS NEWS FOSSIL BED

     McPHERSON, Kan., A new bed of fossil tracks, imprints left by strange
birds and animals of thousands of years ago, have been located here by Prof.
H. H. Nininger, biologist of McPherson College. This part of the country is
believed to have been a shallow lake in prehistoric times and animals left
their tracks in the stiff muck about its shore.

PDF copy of this article, and most I post (and about 1/2 of those on my
website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
