A comparison of the Igloo and Greenland series shows striking 

 similarities; hardly any two geographically separate groups originat- 

 ing from a single source could reasonably be expected to come nearer. 

 The Igloo skulls are even narrower in the vault than the Green- 

 landers, which means so much farther away from the southwestern, 

 mil I western, and Asiatic Eskimo; and offer a few other differences,

A comparison of the Igloo and Greenland series with the material 

 from Golovnin Bay and Sledge Island shows also numerous similari- 

 ties but with them some rather material differences. The differences 

 are especially marked in the females, whose characteristic approach
