APPENDIX 
One of the most important conclusions reached in connection with 
the studies dealt with in these pages is that of the physical identity 
of the Iroquois with the eastern Algonquian tribes. To test this con- 
clusion the writer subsequently examined the valuable collection of 
Iroquois skeletal material in possession of the Buffalo Society of 
Natural Sciences,! consisting of 34 male and 22 female adult skulls, 
well identified and in good condition. The results of this additional 
study are given in the following tables and need little comment 
except that the conclusions presented in the body of this report as to 
the physical identity of the Iroquois and eastern Algonquian peoples 
are fully verified. In every respect the measurements and indexes of 
the new series fit closely among those of the other Eastern tribes, and 
in not a single feature do they drop out of line or even equal the 
extremes of variation in the skeletal remains of the tribes previously 
studied. In view of these facts the essential identity of the physical 
characters of the Iroquois and Algonquians, as determined by their 
skeletal remains, may, it seems, be regarded as definitely established.
