ANTHROPOLOGICAL SURVEY IN ALASKA 



[BTH. ANN. 46 



In 1900 Sergi 91 reports on four Kodiak skulls that he examined in 

 Paris. Two of these are probably Aleut (or Indian). The cranial 

 indices were, respectively, 75.8, 78.3, 88, and 88.2. 



In 1916 E. W. Hawkes presented a thesis on the " Skeletal Measure- 

 ments and Observations on the Point Barrow Eskimo, with Compari- 

 sons from other Eskimo Groups." 92 The number of skulls measured 

 was 27, of which 14 were identified as adult males, 5 adult females, 6 

 adolescents, and 2 infants. In addition there are measurements by 

 Ralph Linton of other skeletal parts than the skull of three skeletons. 



The measurements, though the first taken by this author, have evi- 

 dently been taken in a painstaking manner and according to modern 

 methods, and are therefore of some value. An abstract of those on 

 the adults follows:
