skulls from the St. Lawrence Island brought to the Army Medical 

 Museum. 89 There are no measurements outside of a reference to the 

 capacity, but there are two excellent chromolithographs showing two 

 female crania, besides a number of outline drawings. 



The next data on the western Eskimo skull are in rather unsatisfac- 

 tory condition. They are those of Boas. In his report on the "An- 

 thropologic der nordamerikanischen Indianer," 80a Doctor Boas men- 

 tions the cranial index of the Alaska Eskimo to average 77; and on 

 page 397 he reports the same index as secured on 37 "Alaska Eskimo" 

 skulls, apparently of both sexes. The only note relating to these 

 figures is found on page 393, where it is stated that these results 

 proceed from measurements that had been made for the author at 

 the Peabody Museum, Cambridge, the American Museum, New York, 

 the Academy of Sciences, Philadelphia, and the United States Army 

 Medical Museum, Washington ; and that he utilized also the measure- 

 ments of Barnard Davis and Otis. On 22 of the above western 

 Eskimo skulls there is also given the length-height index of 76.6. 

 There is no information as to either sex or locality. There are no 

 other measurements. 



Deniker (1901) and later Martin (1914) repeat the data given by 

 Boas. 



In 1890 Tarenetzky 9 " publishes measurements and observations on 

 four Koniag (Kodiak) skulls and one Oglemute (Aglegmute, Alaska 

 Peninsula). The main measurements (pp. 70-71) are:

•Most if not all the Kodiak skulls are doubtless females, the Oglemute a male. Quite probably also 

 the Kodiak skulls are those of Aleuts and not of Eskimo.
