non- simultaneous appearance and disappearance of the same or 

 similar species in dissimilar zoophyto- geographic territories. 

 In tectonics he studied so-called "young" platforms with a 

 Paleozoic folded base. In particular, he suggested new ideas on 

 folded structures of the Urals, Tien Shan, and Mangishlak, and 

 of the deep geological structure of the plains surrounding the 

 Aral Sea. The presence of oil deposits in this territory was 

 predicted by Yanshin. He took part, in 1952 and 1956, in the 

 compilation of tectonic maps of the U.S.S.R. He studied lig- 

 nites, iron ores, bauxite, phosphorite, potassium salt, and 

 cement raw materials, and he discovered industrial deposits of 

 these minerals. He also found a series of artesian basins.

 he graduated from the Chemical Faculty of the Central Asia 

 University. Since 1943 he has been Chief of the Laboratory of 

 Alkaloid Chemistry of the Uzbek S.S.R. Academy of Sciences
