REMAINS, FROM ARKANSAS AND LOUISIANA. 175 
Nevertheless, the data, even when supplemented with those bearing on the 
older collections in the National Museum, from this part of the койгу, fall far 
short of covering the territory of the two States, and allow but little perspective in 
point оҒ time. They aflord, however, a substantial step toward the elucidation of 
the anthropology of Arkansas and Louisiana, and should stimulate further careful 
collection of the skeletal remains of the aboriginal inhabitants of these regions. 
II. 
ARKANSAS. 
_ Mr. Moore's collection from Arkansas in 1909 was made at Boytt's Field, 
Union county, and comprises the list of specimens given below. | 
Sexual recognition offers, as usual, some difficulties, but owing to the presence 
in many cases of long- and other bones, it is possible to carry the identification to 
within a very small margin of possible error. In age estimates, the uncertain 
“ approximate age in years,” such as was employed in last year's report, is replaced 
by references to defined periods of life, determinations of which are safe and scarcely 
less serviceable.
