Mr. Jenness, chief of the Division of Anthropology in the Na- 

 tional Museum of Canada at Ottawa, is a graduate both of the 

 University of New Zealand and Oxford University. His first 

 anthropological field work was undertaken in New Guinea, as part 

 of the results of which he has published (with A. Ballantyne) 

 "The Northern D'Entrecasteaux," Oxford, 1920; the remainder is 

 now being printed as a memoir of the Polynesian Society under the 

 title "Language, Anthropology, and Songs of Northern D'Entrecas- 

 teaux. ' ' As ethnologist of the Southern Party of the Canadian Arctic 

 Expedition, 1913-1916, he was able to study at first hand the Es- 

 kimos of Alaska, the Mackenzie Delta, and Coronation Gulf. Among 

 the results of his work on this expedition the following reports have 

 been published in the Reports of the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 

 1913-1918, Ottawa: "The Life of the Copper Eskimos" (Vol. 12, 

 Part A, 1922); "Physical Characteristics of the Copper Eskimos" 

 (Vol. 12, Part B, 1923); "Eskimo Folk-lore" (Vol. 13, Part A, 1924); 

 "Eskimo String Figures" (Vol. 13, Part B, 1924); "Eskimo Songs: 

 Songs of the Copper Eskimos" (with H. H. Roberts; Vol. 14, Part A, 

 1925). A "Comparative Vocabulary of the Western Eskimo 

 Dialects" (Vol. 15, Part A) is in press; likewise a popular account of 

 his experiences among the Arctic Eskimos entitled "The People of 

 the Twilight." Mr. Jenness has contributed a number of articles to 

 the Geographical Review.
