He was back in the Little Sandhill Creek area in 1919. Most of the finds of that year were of duck-billed dinosaurs {Corythosaurus excavatus, C. intermedius, type of Lambeosaurus magnicristatus). Lawrence Lambe, in charge of vertebrate palaeontology for the Geo- logical Survey of Canada, died on March 12, 1919. The administration of his programme was taken over by Dr. E. M. Kindle as Chief of the Palaeontology Section. But more and more C. M. Sternberg began to assume the role of scientist as well as of collector and preparator. His first scientific paper appeared in 1921, a supplement to Lambe's unfinished description of an armoured dinosaur {Panoplosaurus mirus). Sternberg resumed field work in 1921 with a visit to the Morgan ("Rocky") Creek badlands south of Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan, where he relocated the fossiliferous "Lance" beds (Frenchman formation) discovered by Dawson in 1874, and obtained remains of the characteristic horned dinosaur (Triceratops), as well as the fine skull of a new duck- billed dinosaur (type of Anatosaurus saskatchewanensis). After shipping the collection he moved back to the Little Sandhill Creek area of the Red Personnel of four expeditions gathered at the camp of C. M.
