SKELETAL PARTS 



317 



In 1910, in my Contributions to the Anthropology of the Central 

 and Smith Sound Eskimo, I was able to report both the stature and 



the length of the long bones in two normally developed adult males 

 and one adult female from Smith Sound. To this it is now possible to 

 add larger though less direct data from the group of St. Lawrence 

 Island. We have the stature of many of the living from this place 

 and also the measurements of numerous long bones from the dead 

 of the same group. The relations of the two are given below, together 

 with corresponding data from Smith Sound. There is in general 

 such a striking agreement in the relative proportions that the latter 

 may. it would seem, be used henceforth for stature estimates also in 

 other parts of the Eskimo region.
