ANTHROPOLOGICAL SURVEY IN ALASKA 



[ETH. ANN. 46 



group by group and area by area, and tbese data show that narrow 

 nose is by no means universal in this family. The nasal aperture 

 is broader in the southwest and midwest than in the northwest, and 

 broader in the latter region than in the Arctic north and the north- 

 east. In general it is seen that the farther northward and north- 

 eastward the narrower the nose, until it reaches beyond that of all 

 other human groujjs; while in the west and southwest it gradually 

 approaches until it reaches the nasal breadth of the Indian. And 

 that this latter condition is not due to Indian admixture is shown 

 by the fact that among the broadest noses are those of the Eskimo 

 in Siberia and those on the St. Lawrence Island, where there was 

 no known contact with the Indian, while the narrower noses are 

 along the midwestern coast, where Indian admixture might have 

 been possible.
