SEEKING A CONTINENT
SEARCH IN ARABIAN SEA. BRITISH EXPEDITION FORMED. STUDY OF RARE MARINE ANIMALS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received November 26, 9.55 a.m. CALCUTTA, Nov. 25. A search for a supposed submerged continent between the Indian and African coasts of the Arabian Sea is to be undertaken next year by an expedition headed by Colonel Seymour Sewell, Director of the Zoological Survey in India.
The expedition will also investigate the life of rare marine animals supposed to exist in the Arabian Sea. An attempt will be made to capture monsters which are believed to live in midwater, never rising to the surface or sinking to the bed of the ocean. The expedition will attempt to discover traces of continental areas supposed to have stretched to the westwards from India many thousands of years ago.
The continent is known to scienists as “Lemuria,” the existence of which is based on similar fauna present on the Indian, and African coasts of the Arabian Sea.
