SIZE OF SKULL 
The size of the skull of the Eastern Indian, as expressed by the 
cranial module, shows again a grouping of much interest, though 
here more than in other series, owing to the small number of speci- 
mens, the position of some of the tribes can not be regarded as 
definitely fixed. The Munsee, as well as other Lenape skulls, stand 
with those of Rhode Island at the lower end of the scale, showing 
the smallest heads, although the Indians of these localities were not 
tribes of smaller stature than most of the other Eastern Indians. 
The more northerly Algonquians (with the exception of those of 
Rhode Island) and the Iroquois, occupy a median position. In the 
Virginia tribes the size of the skull ranges from medium to slightly 
above in the more easterly, but slightly below medium in the more 
westerly tribes. The crania from Manhattan, Long Island, and 
Staten Island are again grouped and occupy the highest position in 
the series, showing the largest heads; but they were also among the 
tallest, if not the tallest, of the Eastern Indians.
