  Of 
  the 
  145 
  Qnicbua 
  Indians 
  measured, 
  124 
  were 
  from 
  54 
  locali- 
  

   ties 
  in 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  Cuzco, 
  and 
  21 
  were 
  from 
  9 
  localities 
  in 
  

   the 
  Department 
  of 
  Apurimac. 
  The 
  average 
  from 
  each 
  loealit}^ 
  

   was 
  thus 
  only 
  a 
  little 
  over 
  two. 
  All 
  but 
  one 
  were 
  males. 
  Eigh- 
  

   teen 
  measures 
  were 
  taken 
  on 
  the 
  body 
  and 
  extremities, 
  six 
  on 
  the 
  

   head, 
  and 
  twelve 
  on 
  the 
  face. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  these, 
  observations 
  

   were 
  made 
  on 
  the 
  eyes, 
  teeth, 
  skin 
  and 
  its 
  modifications, 
  deform- 
  

   ations, 
  and 
  anomalies. 
  Some 
  of 
  the 
  measures 
  employed 
  are 
  not 
  

   on 
  the 
  list 
  approved 
  by 
  International 
  Agreement. 
  Of 
  the 
  145 
  

   cases 
  measured, 
  124 
  were 
  adjudged 
  pure 
  and 
  24 
  mixed. 
  The 
  

   criteria 
  of 
  racial 
  purity 
  were 
  skin, 
  color, 
  and 
  features. 
  The 
  

   author 
  wisely 
  admits 
  the 
  possibilities 
  of 
  error 
  in 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  

   purity. 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  his 
  ratio 
  of 
  124 
  Indians 
  of 
  pure 
  blood 
  

   to 
  24 
  of 
  mixed 
  is 
  too 
  high. 
  The 
  ages 
  of 
  the 
  subjects 
  measured 
  

   ranged 
  from 
  17 
  to 
  88. 
  ^Measurements 
  on 
  youths 
  of 
  IV 
  to 
  20 
  are 
  

   of 
  little 
  value 
  and 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  omitted. 
  Fortunately 
  the 
  

   series 
  contains 
  only 
  14 
  cases 
  of 
  this 
  class. 
  

  

  To 
  summarize, 
  the 
  stature 
  is 
  low, 
  the 
  forearm 
  long, 
  and 
  thigh 
  

   short 
  relatively 
  ; 
  the 
  skin 
  color 
  varies 
  from 
  light 
  to 
  dark 
  brown 
  ; 
  

   the 
  hair 
  black, 
  straight, 
  and 
  abundant 
  ; 
  grayness 
  and 
  baldness 
  

   are 
  rare 
  ; 
  very 
  little 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  face 
  ; 
  lips 
  medium 
  to 
  thick 
  ; 
  head 
  

   proportions 
  average 
  mesocephalic 
  with 
  frequent 
  examples 
  of 
  

   hypsicephaly 
  ; 
  corpulency 
  rare 
  ; 
  teeth 
  remarkably 
  well 
  preserved 
  

   except 
  on 
  sugar 
  plantations. 
  

  

  The 
  memoir 
  is 
  accompanied 
  by 
  instructive 
  tables 
  and 
  a 
  series 
  

   of 
  sixty 
  plates 
  ; 
  it 
  was 
  published 
  at 
  the 
  expense 
  of 
  The 
  National 
  

   Geographic 
  Society. 
  There 
  is 
  apparently 
  no 
  connection 
  between 
  

   the 
  numbers 
  accompanying 
  the 
  illustrations 
  and 
  the 
  subject 
  num- 
  

   bers 
  of 
  the 
  tables. 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  to 
  be 
  regretted 
  that 
  in 
  taking- 
  the 
  

   photographs 
  there 
  w 
  T 
  as 
  no 
  uniformity 
  of 
  orientation. 
  Seldom 
  is 
  

   the 
  subject 
  correctly 
  posed 
  either 
  for 
  a 
  front 
  view 
  or 
  for 
  a 
  profile; 
  

   and 
  one 
  is 
  left 
  to 
  guess 
  whether 
  the 
  profile 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  subject 
  

   as 
  the 
  accompanying 
  front 
  view. 
  The 
  Expedition 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  com- 
  

   mended 
  on 
  having 
  made 
  a 
  beginning 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  of 
  Qnicbua 
  

   anthropometry.

  — 
  The 
  completion 
  of 
  the 
  fifteenth 
  year 
  

   of 
  the 
  Carnegie 
  Institution 
  has 
  found 
  it 
  with 
  an 
  income 
  of 
  $1,351,- 
  

   200, 
  largely 
  derived 
  from 
  its 
  endowment 
  fund 
  of 
  $22,000,000. 
  

   Notwithstanding 
  this 
  very 
  considerable 
  amount 
  received 
  annually, 
  

   the 
  president 
  states 
  most 
  distinctly 
  that 
  the 
  income 
  of 
  the 
  Insti- 
  

   tution 
  not 
  only 
  falls 
  far 
  short 
  of 
  popular 
  estimate, 
  but 
  is 
  not 
  even 
  

   equal 
  to 
  the 
  proper 
  demands 
  upon 
  it 
  for 
  research. 
  This 
  is 
  in 
  

   part 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  purchasing 
  power 
  of 
  all 
  income 
  has 
  

   materially 
  declined 
  in 
  recent 
  years 
  ; 
  but, 
  aside 
  from 
  this, 
  the 
  

   legitimate 
  demands 
  upon 
  the 
  Institution 
  increase 
  still 
  more 
  

   rapidly. 
  This 
  limitation 
  is 
  particularly 
  to 
  be 
  regretted, 
  since 
  the 
  

   system 
  of 
  Research 
  Associates, 
  finally 
  evolved 
  after 
  various 
  pre- 
  

   liminary 
  stages, 
  has 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  so 
  valuable 
  that 
  its 
  extension 
  is 
  

   much 
  to 
  be 
  desired. 
  It 
  is 
  added, 
  however, 
  that 
  the 
  current 
  activi-
