He writes that "the counte- 

 nance of White Fox (Terre- 

 gannoeuck) was oval, with a 

 sufficiently prominent nose, and 

 had nothing very different from 

 a European face except in the 

 smallness of the eyes, and per- 

 haps in the narrowness of the 

 forehead. His complexion was 

 very fresh and red, and he had 

 a longer beard than I had ever 

 seen on an aboriginal inhabit- 

 ant of America. It was be- 

 tween 2 and 3 inches long and 

 perfectly white." 



Thomas Simpson, who in 

 1837 explored the continental 

 coast west to Point Barrow 

 with P. W. Dease, met a band 

 of 60 Eskimo to the west of 

 the Mackenzie River. He re- 

 cords that "three men were re- 

 markable for their good looks 

 and a stature of 5 feet 10 

 inches to 6 feet. Some of them 

 had light-colored eyes and com- 

 plexion, which if cleaned from 

 grease might have passed for 

 fair in most parts of Europe." 



On the lower Coppermine, 

 in 1838, Dease fell in with an 

 Eskimo man and his family. 

 Dease says : "The stranger was 

 about 6 feet high, stout, and 

 well looking, with brown hair. 

 He wore no labrets." 



In 1839 Simpson met near 

 the mouth of the Coppermine 

 a party of four Eskimo, of 

 whom one was "an average 

 stout man about 6 feet high, 

 with brown beard. His coun- 

 tenance would have been noble 

 were it not disfigured by a hid- 

 eous wen on the temple." This 

 fair-bearded, noble-faced Es- 

 kimo giant was also seen by Dr. 

 Richardson during his "boat 

 journey through Rupert Land"^ 

 in 1848, and again by Dr. John 

 'Rae in his Eranklin search 

 journey of the following year. 



In his second land expedition, 

 1825-1827, Franklin met many 

 Eskimo in the Cape Bathurst 

 region, and writes : "One of 

 them had a different cast of
