26 THE ESKIMO ABOUT BERING STRAIT ETH. ANN. 18 
The Point Barrow Eskimo occupy the coast from Cape Lisburne to 
Point Barrow. The Malemut inhabit the country from Point Hope 
around the shores of Kotzebue sound to beyond Cape Espenberg, and 
thence south to Unaktolik river. From this point southward to tie 
Yukon mouth, including St Michael island, are the Unalit or Unalig- 
mut. The people of Cape Prince of Wales, Port Clarence, and King 
island are the Kiiugumut. The people occupying the coast from Port 
Clarence and around to Cape Nome, Golofnin bay, and Nubviukhechug- 
aluk, including the interior of the peninsula back from the coast country 
as well as Sledge (Aziak) island, are Kaviagmut. 
The people of the Diomede islands and of East cape, Siberia, are a 
group of Eskimo of whom I failed to obtain a special designation. 
South of this point the Eskimo of Plover bay and the neighboring 
coast form another group. The people of St Lawrence island form 
still another group, and of these also I failed to record any special 
designation. ; 
The people of the lower Yukon, from Paimut down to the vicinity of 
Pastolik, including the Yukon delta, are the Ikogmut. The Magemut 
are the people occupying the low, marshy country back from the lower 
Yukon, between it and the Kuskokwim, extending from a line just 
back of the Kuskokwim northwesterly to the coast between Cape 
Romanzof and the Kusilvak branch of the Yukon mouth. 
The Nunivagmut are the people of Nunivak island and the main- 
land at Cape Vancouver. 
The Kaialigamut are the people occupying the coast northward from 
Cape Vancouver to Kushunuk, Kaialigamut, and the adjacent villages. 
The Kuskokwagmut are the people occupying the villages along the 
lower Kuskokwim and the adjacent country to the north of that point 
to a line where begin the other divisions already named.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS 
The Eskimo from Bering strait to the lower Yukon are fairly well- 
built people, averaging among the men about 5 feet 2 or 3 inches in 
height. The Yukon Eskimo and those living southward from that 
river to the Kuskokwim are, as a rule, shorter and nore squarely built. 
The Kuskokwim people are darker of complexion than those to the 
northward, and have rounder features. The men commonly have a 
considerable growth of hair on their faces, becoming at times a thin
