March, Dr. Kuo Mo-Jo, with the assistance of the Chinese delegates who accompanied him, and in the presence of the Korean representative, Mr. Li Ki-Ien, placed the members of the Committee, and other national delegates, in possession of much information concerning the phenomena in question.' Thus, they should have been taken in January - March 1952.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Joseph Needham's caption on the envelope: WPC original photos.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Photographs taken by: Official Chinese source.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Based on the numbering on the back of the photographs, some would appear to be missing from the Needham Research Institute set. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'>The location of the photographs is not given, but will all be in north-east China or North Korea. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Also worthy of note is that none of these exact images was used in the Report.</p>
