30 Encephalic Anatomy of the Races 
City, in 1898, at the age of about forty-five years, and his brain has 
been carefully studied and described by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka. 
The writer is indebted to Dr. Hrdlicka for the following measure- 
ments of the heads of these individuals during life: 
No, 1.—* ATANA.”’—Stature, 146.7 em. Head: max. antero-posterior diam., 
18.0 em.; max. lateral diam., 14.5 cm.; cephalic index, 80.55 (sub-brachy- 
cephalic); horizontal circumference, 53.6 cm. 
No. 2.—* Nooxrau.”—Stature, 155.0 em. Head: max. antero-posterior 
diam., 18.8 cm.; max. lateral diam., 15.3 em.; cephalic index, 81.38 (sub- 
brachycephalic); horizontal circumference, 56.2 cm. 
No. 3.—* Avia.”—Stature, 132.8 em. Head: max. antero-posterior diam., 
18.8 cm.; max. lateral diam., 13.7 cm.; cephalic index, 72.87 (very dolicho- 
cephalic); horizontal circumference, 53.3 em. 
The skulls measured as follows: 
No. 1.—‘* ATANA.”—Max. antero-posterior diam. externally, 17.6 cm.; in- 
ternally, 16.6 cm.; max. lateral diam. externally, 13.6 em.; internally, 13.0 
em.; height, basion-bregma, (?); cranial index, 77.27; cerebral index, 78.31. 
No. 2.—‘ NooOKTAH.”—Max. antero-posterior diam. externally, 18.3 cm.; 
internally, 17.35 cm.; max. lateral diam. externally, 14.4 em.; internally, 
13.7 cm.; height, basion-bregma, 14.0 em.; cranial index, 78.69; cerebral 
index, 78.96. 
No. 3.—* AviA.”—Max. antero-posterior diam. externally, 18.2 cm.; in- 
ternally, 17.3 cm.; max. lateral diam. externally, 13.0 cm.; internally, 
12.3 cm.; height, basion-bregma, 12.9 em.; cranial index, 71.43; cerebral 
index, 71.09. 
In addition to the three brains here described, and the brain of 
“ Kishu,” there is a fifth Eskimo brain in Professor Huntington’s Lab- 
oratory; namely that of a girl named “ Atmahok,” who died of tubercu- 
losis in June, 1899, in the Walton Sanitarium, at Mt. Vernon, N. Y. 
“ Atmahok,” with her twin-sister “ Zakesino,” had been brought to 
the United States, and. exhibited in various cities in connection with 
lectures, by Capt. Miner Bruce, of Seattle, Wash., an Alaskan trader. 
The girls were eight years old. The body of “ Atmahok” was received 
at the Anatomical Laboratory of the Medical Department of Columbia 
University, two days after death, and the autopsy was performed by 
Dr. Hrdlicka. The heat of the prevailing weather had already brought 
about an advanced state of decomposition of the bodily tissues, espe- 
cially of the brain, and beyond its weight little could be ascertained. 
In its present state, nothing useful can be derived from the specimen. 
It is a great loss to anatomical science that this brain could not be 
preserved successfully, as it would have been of considerable interest to 
compare this Alaskan with the Eastern Eskimo brains; furthermore, in
