Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



The range of the ^acebreldth' ^'^^^^ among the Copper Eskimos is shown in 

 the following table: — ■ 



Mr. Stefansson, from observations on 104 Copper Eskimo men, obtained 

 a mean of 97, one point above my own.^ The three Mackenzie delta men whom 

 I measured gave a mean of 96-7, but Stone's measurements of 12 men from 

 the same region gave 102-7, while his 6 women gave 99-0. From the Noatak 

 river the same observer obtained indices of 100 • 8 for men and 101 ■ 6 for women, 

 although the three Point Hope men measured by myself gave only 97-1. In 

 Smith sound, as already stated, the indices are 96 • 7 for men and 97 • 6 for women. 

 From Labrador we have Boas' figure of 95 as the mean index of 10 men,^ and 

 Duckworth's of 96-3 for 11 men and 96-3 for 10 women.' The indices of Stone, 

 if correct, are higher than any yet recorded.
