198 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY (bull. 34 



Reports were received from 102 localities, and in numerous in- 

 stances these were accompanied by additional data or by explanatorv 

 notes. The reports are not, however, equally accurate. It was 

 evident that the physicians endeavored to give as far as possible 

 correct information, but on many of the larger reservations it is 

 exceedingly difficult to do so. The physician and those who could 

 aid liim in filling out the blank have usually a good knowledge of 

 those natives only who live within a moderate distance of the 

 agency, and the data concerning those in the remote parts of 

 the reservation can not but be defective. The reports from the 

 schools and the smaller tribes are more reliable, and so probably are 

 those on albinism, insanity, and the deaf and dumb, conditions 

 known widely among every people. On the whole, it will be well 

 to regard the data here presented as approximate; further, it 

 should be remembered that, unfortunately, these data pertain to 

 a population embracing both mixed-bloods and full-bloods, although 

 the former are not numerous. 



The detail reports are given, tabulated alphabetically by the 

 tribes, in the Appendix: the separate notes from the physicir.ns, 

 some of them very mt cresting, are added to this chapter. In abstract, 

 the reported conditions were as follows:

 which m..y possiblj- account for some of the albinos.
