For the purpose of comparison I have added the indices of the living 

 subtracting two from each [according to Broca] in order to make them 

 comparable to the skulls. The close correspondence between the two 

 groups becomes at once apparent. 



It is of interest to investigate the farther distribution of this form of 

 head. Turning to the interior o£ British Columbia we have a series of 

 skulls from Lytfcon, which were described in the Fifth Report. To these 

 may be added one from the same place which is in my own collection, 

 and has an index of 77'4. All these skulls have suffered somewhat by 

 post-mortem deformation.

This series agrees very closely with that of the coast tribes. Measure- 

 ments of the long bones from the same place show that the tribe must 

 have been a very short one, probably resembling also in this respect the 

 coast people. 



Besides these, we have the measurements of two Shushwap crania 

 in Davis's collection (p. 226), which have indices of 76 and 83. A 

 single Shushwap, whom I measured at New Westminster, had an index 

 of 82-9, corresponding to about 81 on the skull. It; seems, therefore, that 

 these people resemble the coast tribes, but further investigations are 

 necessary to prove this theory. 



Among the other groups, the tribe of Harrison Lake is particularly
