So many valuable data have been obtained by Mr. B. S. 

 Lyman, that it seems desirable to introduce them here in 

 his own words : — 



" The average weight of the Ainos with their light cloth- 

 ing was 141 pounds, varying from 108 pounds — the boy — 

 to 183 pounds — the ferryman. In general, their hair was 

 thick, with a tendency to stand out all over the head. The 

 forehead varied from low to high, commonly of middling 

 height; it was always round. Their brows were always 

 overhanging ; their eyes commonly of middling size and 

 always black; their cheekbones were rather high; their 

 nose commonby with a very low bridge and with broad nos- 

 trils, was often turned up, but sometimes straight. Their 

 mouth, lips and chin commonly hidden by the beard, seemed 

 to be of middling character, the mouth not very small, the 

 lips, as compared with Europeans, not unusually thick and 

 the chin not very large, perhaps even rather small. Of 

 those who had special compensation and were therefore 

 bound to submit to anything, we took a number of other 

 dimensions. Their average age was twenty-six, height 5.46 

 feet, and weight 161 pounds. Their heads measured on the 

 average from front to back 0.68 feet; from side to side 0.55 

 feet, and from chin to crown or rather vertical height 0.77 

 foot; from chin to mouth 0.10 foot. The facial angle was 

 taken very imperfectly but seemed to be about 65 degrees. 

 The upper arm measured on the average 1.08 foot long ; 

 the forearm 0.83 foot ; the hand from the wrist bone 0.66 

 foot ; in all from shoulder to finger tips 2.57 feet, a rather 

 unusual length, I believe, for Europeans of their height. 

 The average length of the leg down from the hip bone — 

 taken by mistake instead of the joint — was 3.10 feet or
