HRDLICKA | PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE LENAPE tak 
examination and remeasurement of some of the same specimens, the 
sexual identification, as well as the measurements, were too faulty 
to warrant their use in this report. During the same year there 
appeared A List of the Specimens in the Anatomical Collections of the 
United States Army Medical Museum, by Dr. George A. Otis, which 
gave measurements of hundreds of American crania, including a num- 
ber from the Eastern states; but these measurements also in many 1n- 
stances were made imperfectly, so that the records can not be prof- 
itably utilized. Flower’s Catalogue gives the measurements of one 
Mohawk skull. Virchow, in his Crania Ethnica Americana, includes 
no specimen from the central or northern states bordering on the 
Atlantic. In 1899 Dr. Frank Russell‘! published some observations 
and measurements on Indian crania, among which were included a 
number from the New England states, more particularly from Massa- 
chusetts; and finally, in 1902, the writer published his Crania of 
Trenton,? which gave measurements of all the Lenape skulls, as well 
as those of some other Eastern Indians, then known.? 
All the specimens described by the American authors above men- 
tioned and that could still be located (which was possible in a large 
majority of the cases), were reexamined, consequently the following 
records are based solely on the measurements and observations by 
the present writer. Important additional Huron material, which it 
was found impracticable to include in these studies, exists in the 
museum of Laval University at Quebec and in the Provincial Museum 
at Toronto. 
The 283 crania here included are not distributed evenly over the 
Atlantic states. There are fairly representative series from eastern 
Canada, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, but 
only a few specimens from Connecticut, and very few from Delaware, 
Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The climatic conditions and the soil 
of the more southerly of these states are not favorable to the preser- 
vation of skeletal remains, which, moreover, were probably never 
very abundant. Furthermore, many of the specimens available for 
examination were found more or less damaged, so that not all the 
important measurements could be obtained. Owing to these con- 
ditions the present study must necessarily leave many points for 
future corroboration or correction; however, the results obtained

3 Just as this memoir is about to go to the printer, there appears a study, by Marian Vera Knight, on 
The Craniometry of Southern New England Indians (Yale Univ. Press, 1915, tv, pp. 1-36, 9 pl.), constituting 
areport on approximately 90 skulls, many of them imperfect, trom Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A 
majority of the specimens are those that have already been studied by Carrand Russell, and more especially 
by the present writer. The results agree closely with those shown in this report, although Miss Knight 
includes some specimens that may safely be regarded as extraneous, and has not been entirely fortunate 
in the matter of some of her measuremeats and comparisons,
