Ihe small tribe of Eskimaux — counting 350 to 400 mem- 

 bers — at Angmagsalik on the East-coast of Greenland about 

 65^2*^ lat. N. has in so far special interest in physical respect, 

 as it in contradistinction from the West-coast Eskimaux is 

 known free from European intermixture and is the only surely 

 unmixed Greenland group of Eskimaux. 



During the second Danish expedition to East-Greenland, 

 conducted by lieutenant Amdrup in 1898 — 99, I made during 

 the wintering of the expedition at Angmagsalik some anthro- 

 pological measurings and put down some notes on the structure 

 of the population. I found opportunity of examining 40 grown-up 

 individuals, 29 men and 1 1 women, besides a few children. 

 All these visited our wintering station during the winter. The 

 material though not great may still possibly be of some interest 

 when compared with and supplying the measurings and exa- 

 minations made by the head of the Danish woman-boat expe- 

 dition, the present captain G. F. Holm. Then 46 grown-up 

 individuals from the district of Angmagsalik were examined, and 

 besides 45 individuals from the southern part of the East-coast 

 — by the then lieutenant Garde — together with a similar 

 number from the southern part of the West-coast. On the 

 basis of these examinations the police-surgeon, doctor Søren 

 Hansen, gave a representation of the structure and other phy- 

 sical properties of the East-Greenlanders^), a representation.
