HRDLIGKA] PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE LENAPE 101 
A comparison of the measurements of the Munsee scaphoid with 
those obtained on the United States whites shows a number of inter- 
esting conditions. The bone in the whites is again in both sexes and 
in all dimensions somewhat larger than in the Indian. The height- 
breadth index is identical in the females of the two races, but is more 
elevated, owing to a relatively greater height of the bone, in the white 
than in the Munsee males. The stoutness-breadth index is decidedly 
higher in both sexes in the whites, though more particularly so in the 
males. It may therefore be stated that the scaphoid in the United 
States whites is, in both sexes, not only absolutely but also relatively 
stouter, and in the males also relatively somewhat higher, than that 
in the Munsee Indians.

An inspection of the Munsee scaphoid shows a number of interest- 
ing particulars. A facet for the cuboid is present in only 23.5 per 
cent of the cases (15 per cent males and 30 per cent females); among 
the United States whites its frequency is nearly twice as great, or 39 
per cent (40 per cent males and 37 per cent females), and Manners 
Smith reported an even higher proportion in England. 
The facet for the talus differs quite markedly as to shape in the 
Munsee and the whites. In the whites, and particularly in the 
females, it is predominantly more or less pyriform, and only seldom 
quadrilateral or nearly so; while in the Munsee conditions are re- 
versed and a more or less quadrilateral facet is present in a large 
majority of the cases, especially in the males, while the pyriform 
type is scarce. 
_ The tuberosity of the scaphoid differs also somewhat in the two 
races. In general, it may be more or less pointed, or decidedly blunt, 
or squarish; the first two forms are common among the whites, while
