HOLLYWOOD HORIZON from the north end of La Brea Avenue fans out across the coastal 

 plain like a sparkling magic carpet, bejeweled at night with myriad lights. On those plains 

 once roamed prehistoric monsters known to man only by the finding of priceless caches of 

 skeletal remains in the tarry depths of asphaltum pools on the Rancho La Brea. Since their dis 

 covery the fossils have excited the interest of scientists throughout the world and the Hancock 

 Collections at the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art have come to be recog- 

 nized by students of paleontology as being among the fmest in the world.
