ANTHROPOLOGICAL SURVEY IN ALASKA 



(ETH. ANN. 40 



Detailed group data on the nasal index show that this ranges from 

 47.7 on the Yukon to 41.8 in the northernmost contingent of the 

 Eskimo at Smith Sound. The Kotzebue group that shows even a 

 higher index than on the Yukon is too small to have much weight. 

 Barrow and Point Barrow are once more nearly the same, as are the 

 Old Igloos and Greenland; and there are some other interesting 

 relations.

THE ORBITS 



In many American groups the orbits are notoriously variable, yet 

 their mean dimensions and index are of value.
