756 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. 



The Miigemiits " iiiliabit the vicinity of Cape Eoiui'inzoflf, and reach 

 nearly to the mouth of the Yukon. They resemble their southern 

 neighbors more than they do those to the north of them. The women 

 wear labrets. The name Magemut signifies '■ Mink peoide.'" 



The Ekogmuts " inhabit the Yukon delta from Kipniuk to Pastolik, 

 and ascend the river as far as Mauki, some distance above the mission- 

 Those who inhabit the Kwikhpak slough call themselves Kwikhpagmut, 

 a name sometimes applied to the whole tribe." A peculiarity " in many 

 of them is the extreme hairiness of their persons. Many of tliem have 

 very strong black beards and hairy bodies." 



The Unaligmuts, or Unaleet, " occuj^y the coast from Pastolik to 

 Shaktolik." They have also been designated as the Azi;igmut. 



The Miihlemuts ^^ occupy the coast of Norton Sound and ]>ay north 

 of Shaktolik and the neck of the Kavidk Peninsula to Selawik Lake. 

 Their most eastern village is Attenmut, and their western boundary 

 the river which flows northward into Spavariefif Bay, Kotzebue Sound." 



The Kaviiigmiuts occupy the Kaviak Peninsula and Sledge or Aziak 

 Island. " Many of them pass the winter in the southern part of Nor- 

 ton Sound, and tliere is a large Kaviak village at Unalaklik. * * * 

 Their jirincipal villages are Nookmut, at Port Clarence, and Knik- 

 T.igmut, on Golofnina Bay." 



The portrait of a Kaviiigmiut man, aged 33 years, is given in plate 2. 

 He is a very intelligent native, and is a clever artisan. Another type 

 of the same tribe is shown in the person of Suku'ut, aged 25 years, 

 from the same locality, plate 3. An interesting illustration of a girl 

 aged 17 years is presented in plate 4. She has a remarkably clear skin, 

 pink cheeks, and bears upon her chin the usual pattern of tattooed 

 lines, extending downward from the mouth. 



In plate 5 is reproduced the portrait of an inhabitant of the village 

 of Kuwuk, at Point Barrow. The features are very much less i^leasing 

 than those shown in the preceding figures. Plate 6 represents a young 

 man from the village of Utkiavwin.^ 



The Oke ogmuts are essentially the same as the preceding, but the 

 name is applied " by the Innuit to the small and energetic tribe who 

 inhabit the islands by Bering Strait. They carry on the trade between 

 the two continents, and visit the island of St. Michael every yeai for 

 the purpose. I have also heard the same name applied to the inhab- 

 itants of St. Lawrence Island." 



The Eskimo of the Point Barrow region are located, according to Mr. 

 Murdoch, =^ in the villages of Nuwuk and Utkiavwiii. Nuwfik signifies 

 " the Point," and is a slightly elevated knoll at the extremity of Point 

 Barrow, in latitude 71° 23' north, longitude 156o 17' west. Utkiavwin 

 signifies " the Cliffs," is 11 miles west from Nuwuk, at Cape Smyth, 

 and is also a high ridge. The nearest neighbors to the east are those
