Abstract
THE Smithsonian Institution, it is announced through Science Service, of Washington, D.C., is sending an expedition to the caves of western Texas in charge of Mr. Frank M. Setzler, staff archæologist. The object of the expedition is to obtain evidence of the culture of the early cave dwellers of this area, and if possible to ascertain their relation to the basket makers who preceded the Pueblo-Indians of the southwestern states. Traces of the basket-makers' culture have already been found in Texas caves, but there is also evidence, in spear points of stone associated with the bones of extinct animals at some depth below the earliest basket-maker relics, of an earlier people.
