 group approximates the next very closely.

 Chingigmiut, Chnagmiut, Chugachig-

 Yuit of Si-

Holm 

 (1884-85.) 

 ])laced the 

 number of 

 EastGreen- 

 land Eskimo at 550. The \v. coast Green- 

 landers were given as 10,122 by the 

 Royal Greenland Co. in 1888, and the Ita 

 Eskimo numbered 234 in 1897, giving 

 a total for this group of 10,906. The 

 Eskimo of Labrador were estimated at 

 1,300 in a recent report by the Govern- 

 ment of Newfoundland, and Boas in 1888 

 gave the number of Eskimo in the central 

 groups as 1,100. According to the census 

 of 1890, there were on the Arctic coast of 

 Alaska from the British border to Norton 

 sd., 2,729 Eskimo; on the s. shore of Nor- 

 ton sd. and in the Yukon valley, 1,439; 

 in Kuskokwim valley, 5,254; in the val- 

 ley of Nushagak r., 1,952; on the s. coast, 

 1,670. The Ugalakmiut of Prince Wil- 

 liam sd., numbering 154, are reckoned 

 with the Tlingit, but they were originally 

 Eskimo, and for our present purposes 

 are best placed in that category. Adding 

 these, therefore, the total for this group. 



exclusive of the 968 Aleut, is 13,298. 

 The Yuit of Siberia are estimated by Bo- 

 goras at 1,200. The Eskimo proper there- 

 fore number about 27,700, and the stock 

 about 28,670. (h. w. h. j. r. s.)
