time to restrict the development of the skull in breadth, there are 
many irregularities in this correlation. In our series, Rhode Island, 
Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut occupy the lowest positions 
in the scale, showing faces that for Indians are decidedly narrow. 
Among the Lenape the faces are about medium, and the same is true 
of the more westerly Virginians. On Manhattan Island and Staten 
Island the face was well above the medium in breadth, but not so on 
Long Island, although the somewhat exceptional position of the Long 
Island Indians in this respect may be accidental. The Indians of 
southeastern Canada and New York State, as well as some of the 
Virginia Indians, had faces decidedly broader than the averages of 
those of the northeastern states bordering on the Atlantic. 
Comparing the average facial breadth with facial height, it is seen 
that in most of the tribes noted the two measurements occupy a 
similar position in the scale, the narrow faces being also short, and 
vice versa; but there are several exceptions.

While describing, in 1902, the skulls of the more easterly Lenape, 
the writer was impressed by the occasional appearance of very low 
orbits, and considered at the time the possibility of this feature 
being characteristic of the tribe. The present examination shows,
