More than two tons of mineral specimens were brought back by Dr. Earl T. Apfel, of Syracuse university, uni-versity, geologist of the expedition, but they are "just rocks." They do have considerable scientific scien-tific interest, for by analyzing them Dr. Apfel hopes to get some idea of the geologic age of the continent In one area there were quantities of garnets, left by the disintegration of granitic rock; but these again are without commercial value.
