among the Sioux proved invaluable in the final work, so that it was 
not only possible to detect and separate all mixed-bloods from full- 
bloods, but to form some estimate of the proportion of white blood 
wherever mixture existed. Nevertheless, a number also were dis- 
covered of those who, so far as physical examination could show, 
were still genuine full-bloods. 
The first report on the work among the Chippewa was published 
toward the end of the year;* while a report on the observations 
among the Sioux 1s in preparation.

The study among the Chippewa reached the majority of the full- 
bloods still existing in that tribe. These full-bloods within a decade 
or two will have mostly if not entirely died out for with a few 
exceptions they are all old people. The observations and measure- 
ments of these full-blooded Chippewa showed the following main 
points: 
In color, physiognomy, hair, and visible characteristics in general, 
the full-blood Chippewa were completely of the ordinary Indian 
type, showing no special features. 
In stature they ranged from medium to tall, in body development 
from medium to stocky, the latter predominating.
