 A description of a rare Abys- 

 sinian collection, the first brought 

 to America. The specimens are 

 particularly interesting, because 

 they conserve features of the an- 

 cient art of the Mediterranean cul- 

 ture centers. The collection is ar- 

 ranged by classes of objects and is 

 illustrated completely. 



Hrdlicka, Ales. Report on skeletal 

 material from Missouri mounds, col-

 Fowke.

 1910, pp. 103-112, 1 fig. 



The paper gives a description of 

 the skeletal material collected by 

 Mr. Gerard Fowke during his ex-' 

 cavations in central and south- 

 eastern Missouri. 



The material, while in bad con- 

 dition of preservation, gives some 

 valuable data and shows a number 

 of interesting anomalies.

 The paper is based on the ex-

ber of living individuals with a 

 series of skeletons from Smith 

 Sound. The study brought out 

 numerous interesting conditions 

 and a number of especially impor- 

 tant points of morphological signi- 

 ficance. 



The Central, and at least some of 

 the Smith Sound Eskimos, are 

 shown to differ in a number of 

 characteristics, but especially in 

 their relatively broader head, from 

 those of Labrador and the more 

 southern portions of Greenland. 

 Pronounced modifications in the 

 size and shape of the facial parts 

 and also the shape of the cranial 

 vault become evident as the results 

 of great development of the tem- 

 poral and masseter muscles, which 

 in turn are due to the great amount 

 of work the jaws are called upon 

 to perform in mastication, etc. 

 There is a total absence of caries 

 of the teeth. The teeth them- 

 selves are strong and perceptibly 

 larger than in whites. 



A study of a number of skeletons 

 of individuals who were also ex- 

 amined or measured when living 

 resulted in a number of valuable 

 data, one of which is that the pro- 

 portions of the different long bones 

 to the length of the body are dif- 

 ferent in the Eskimo from what 

 they are in the whites. The long 

 bones show but little tendency to- 

 ward flatness. The humeri are 

 relatively shorter than they are in 

 whites, as the result of which the 

 arms, as a whole, are shorter. 

 The scapula? present a character- 

 istic and hitherto undescribed 

 form.
