756 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. 



The Magemuts &quot; inhabit the vicinity of Cape Komanzoff, 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 i Mink people. &quot; 



The Ekdgmuts u 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 the iselves Kwikhpagmut, 

 a name sometimes applied to the whole tribe.&quot; A peculiarity &quot; in many 

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

 very strong black beards and hairy bodies^&quot; 



The Unaligmuts, or tlualeet, &quot; occupy the coast from Pastolik to 

 Shaktolik.&quot; They have also been designated as the Aziagmut. 



The Mahlernuts u occupy the coast of Norton Sound and Bay north 

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

 Their most eastern village is Atteumut, and their western boundary 

 the river which flows northward into Spavarieff Bay, Kotzebue Sound.&quot; 



The Kaviagmiuts occupy the Kaviak Peninsula and Sledge or Aziak 

 Island. &quot; Many of them pass the winter in the southern part of Nor 

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

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

 Tagmut, on Golofnina Bay.&quot; 



The portrait of a Kaviagmiut 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 Nuwiik, at Point Barrow. The features are very much less pleasing 

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

 man from the village of Utkiavwifi. 1 



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

 name is applied &quot; 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.&quot; 



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

 Murdoch, 2 in the villages of Nuwiik and Utkiavwin. Nuwtik signifies 

 u the Point,&quot; and is a slightly elevated knoll at the extremity ,of Point 

 Barrow, in latitude 71 23 north, longitude 150 17 west. Utkiavwin 

 signifies &quot;the Cliffs,&quot; is 11 miles west from Nuwiik, at Cape Smyth, 

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