The main conclusion from the investigations which have been 

 set forth here is that the East Greenlanders must be regarded as a 

 pure and unmixed Eskimo tribe without any ostensible traces of 

 foreign elements. As far as it may be permissible to draw^ any 

 conclusions from the scanty stock of materials at command, it may 

 be added that the population of the East coast in physical develop- 

 ment surpasses most other East Eskimo, and particularly the other 

 Greenland tribes , not only the cowering hordes which rove about 

 • the coasts of Smith's Sound, but also the strongly mixed population 

 in the Danish commercial districts of the West coast. Whether 

 with the same premises we are entitled also to assume that here 

 just at the extreme boundary line of the expansion of the Eskimo 

 race we encounter its culmination, will in the last resort depend 

 on how its relation as a whole to the kindred races in North 

 America and East Asia is conceived.
