And these indications throw new, unexpected, light on the peoples | 

 of the pueblo region. f 



The following abstracts speak for themselves. In brief, the Pueblos 

 are found to differ substantially from their neighbors to the north- 

 west and west; but they approach very significantly on one hand the 

 Algonkins, and on the other hand the Gulf types of further east. 

 Just what this means must be left to future determination; what is 

 certain is that such differences can not be fortuitous. The dolichoid 

 Californians and Shoshoneans, practically one type, stand definitely 

 apart from the dolichoid high- vaulted Pueblos in the decidedly lower 

 height of the vault as well as that of the face; and in the same way the 

 low-vaulted Apache, Hualapai, and Suppai, now settled in the pueblo 

 region, stand apart from the high-vaulted brachycranic Pueblos. 

 The dolichoid pueblo crania, in all then* important relative dimen- 

 sions, resemble the Algonkin, while the brachyoid Pueblo skulls are 

 practically identical with the mound crania of Arkansas, Louisiana, 

 and what is known as the Gulf- type region in general.
