DISCOVERY OF PROFESSOR GIL- |
MORE REVEALS GIANT IN
SECTS PLAQUED MAN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 6. (£>)—
Proof that prehistoric men were an
noyed by giant mosquitoes or similar
insects of enormous size is seen by
scientists in the discovery of Prof.
Charles Gilmore, paleontological ex
pert of the Smithsonian institution.
Prof. Gilmore has found the imprint
of a bug wing measuring more than
four inches in length imbedded in
a layer of rock belonging to an early
epoch.
Conservative estimate by Prof. Gil
more places the age of this rock at
25,00,000 years, but geologists con
nected with the government geologi
cal survey bureau believe this is too
modest a calculation. One of them has
'written to Prof. Gilmore that, in his
opinion, the rock is at least 250,000,
000 or 300,000,000 years old. This is
the first known instance of prehistor
ic insect marks in the Grand Canyon,
where the scientist found the layers
of rock.
Besides the fact that the insect
probably possessed a long, slender
dragon fly like body and was doubt
less as bothersome a pest as the mod
ern mosquito. Prof. Gilmore has
learned little more about it so far.
: Twenty-seven hundred pounds of rock,
however, have been collected by him
in the basement of the new’ National
museum, and their careful study is
expected to reveal many hitherto un
known scientific facts. Three geolo
gical strata of rocks are represented
in the collection. One was obtained
I by Prof. Gilmore 1,050 feet below’ the
| rim of the Grand Canyon; a second,
1,400 feet down, and a third, 1,800
feet from the top.
Reptiles, amphibians and inverte
brate'animals have left approximately
25 different varieties of tracks on the
surface of these layers of stone,
which have been transferred to the
museum with infinite pains in order
i not to chip off or injure the imprints
• which, are now being examined by
i their discoverer.
