breadth of head, the length of face and width of nose, alone excepted, 
and, between the women of these tribes, differences are detectable in prob- 
ably all dimensions but the biparietal. 
An endeavour has been made to group the people of the three regions 
in northeastern Manitoba into linguistic divisions; into those who are 
said to speak Saulteaux, and who were encamped at Smooth Rock on 
Island lake; into those who are said to speak mixed Saulteaux and Cree, 
and who dwelt parity at Island lake and partly at Gods lake; and into 
those who spoke Cree and who lived partly at Gods lake and partly at 
Oxford House. This grouping is certainty not perfect, since, for example, 
there are known instances of sisters being married into the two linguistic 
areas of Island lake, and, to some extent, all areas have been penetrated 
by intruders from neighbouring bands. 
The average stature and sitting height index, together with the differ- 
ent diameters and indices of the head are presented in the accompanying 
table V, and though the table deals with persons between twenty and 
fifty-nine years of age, in the case of Gods Lake area those of sixty years 
and over have been included in order to make the numbers a little more 
presentable. To have calculated the standard deviations and the probable 
errors on this new basis would have entailed much labour and time. On 
that account, means only are recorded.
