PROVIDENCE, R. I, May 15. Explored and Roughly Sur-‘ veyed 11,500 Square Miles of Territory. A special lecture will be delivered be- fore the National Geographic Soclety at | Constitution Hall tomorrow evening by Dr. Joseph F. Rock, who has just re- turned to America after two and a half ears spent in leading an exp:dition of e society through the “No Man’s Land ©f China.” Dr. Rock established his headquarters 8t Li Kiang, in Northwestern Yunnan, on the slopes of the Chinese Tibetan Alps, and from there explored and | Toughly surveyed 11,500 square miles of | territory. The primary object of the expedition was to explore the previously unknown Konkaling Peaks which are situated on a plateau 18,000 feet high, | the peaks rising to a height of 22,000 feet. These mountains were first seen by | Dr. Rock from a distance in 1923 while | on a previous expedition he was jour- neying to the Lama Kingdom of Muli They had remained unexplored and un- mapped so that Dr. Rock and his com- panions, during the latest expedition, were the first white men to visit and circumambulate them. Explore Minya Konka. ‘While exploring the Konkaling Peaks 8t an elevation of 16,300 feet Dr. Rock saw far to the northeast several snowy mountains, of which the farthest rose high above the others. The expedition tushed on in that direction and found hat the peaks were those of the Minya Konka range, vaguely known, but never explored nor mapped nor visited by white man. Dr. Rock and his party climbed among the Minya Konka Moun- tains, accurately located the numerous peaks, and have brought back the first Photographs of these snow mountains. The range was found to extend for bout 40 miles from north to south with highest peak, Minya Konka, reach- ing an elevation of 25,600 feet. Discover New Tribe. Besides surveying roughly on foot 11,- 800 square miles in one of the most mountainous regions of Western China, the expedit! led by Dr. Rock brought back over 20,000 sheets of plants, 1,800 soological specimens, and of over 300 species of ornamental plants. One hundred and seventy-three of the latter are of rhododendrons previously not in- troduced into the United States. The ex- edition also found an entirely unknown be of people living in the Valley of the Bhouchu. Dr. Rock obtained a brief vo- eabulary of their language. ‘The Shouchu was believed locally to rise among the Konkaling Peaks, but was found by Dr. Rock to have its source 11 days to the north of that range. This is only one of the score or more of rivers that will be more accu- rately placed on the world's maps, along with a number of isolated mountain peaks and sizable mountain ranges, as & result of the work of the National Geo- graphic Society’s Southwestern China expedition. The expedition sent and brought to Washington thousands of photographs both in black and white and in natural colors of the geographical features and the people of the newly explored regions @5 well as valuable ethnological material, CORNER STONE LAID AT CULPEPER CHURCH ‘Lodge of Masons Officiates at Services for Sunday School An- nex to Methodist Edifice.
