NOTES ON THE CADDOAN TRIBES 



1. Collections from these tribes are very inadequate. 



2. Tiie three tribes represented by undeformed specimens show 

 such differences that they can not be attributed to one physical type. 



3. The Pawnee, while subbrachycephalic, show a decidedly low 

 vault wliich approaches them closely to the Sioux. 



4. The Caddo and Wichita are brachycephals with medium high 

 vault. 



5. The face, orbits, and nose show, as far as this series goes, nothing 

 especially characteristic.
