On an examination of these figures we shall perceive that the 
percentage of males is larger than that of females, and this fact 
may be accounted for by the unadventurous and pacific character 
of the men. They are therefore less liable to accident than the 
males of other tribes, and consequently the two sexes of this tribe 
retain to a greater extent their normal ratio. Polygamy, there- 
fore, is rare among them, and polyandry is unknown. -o 
1 Mr. Leroux, about the year 1853, estimated the Moquis at 6720 population. 
z About the year 1870 Mr. Beadle gave the population of the seven towns at 3000. i 
8 The tribe in 1875 numbered between 1500 and 2000 souls.
