It would appear that the Chipewyans at Fond-du-lac were the least 
hairy, having even less hair than those assumed to be pure; and, that the 
Crees, the Chipewyans at Chipewyan, Fitzgerald, and Fort Smith, and 
then the breeds, had, in that order, increasingly more hair on the face. 
To possess a quantity of grey hair was the lot of everyone over sixty. 
Most of those whose ages were given as fifty to sixty had some grey hairs, 
and occasionally on the heads of those who were round about thirty years 
of age a few grey hairs were to be observed. The data on this are recorded 
in the appendix. 
Nose. Though noses were of all shapes, the clear cut, aquiline type 
was rarely seen. Many— the majority in fact — were convex, though the 
convexity was not as a rule pronounced. The fact that the point or tip 
of many noses was somewhat enlarged, with the result that a slight con- 
cavity of the bridge preceded the enlargement, was responsible for many 
of those described as concave, and for the concave factor in those designated 
concavo-convex. The accompanying histogram, which is constructed on a 
percentage basis, demonstrates that the convex nose is the type that pre- 
dominates among the Chipewyan males, and that the concave element 
occurs least often among the Fond-du-lac and pure Chipewyan men and 
that it increases progressively among Chipewyan, Fitzgerald, and Chip— 
ewyan-white breeds. Among the females it is more usual to have a con- 
cave element than not. 
In the distribution of the shapes of the noses of the Crees examined 
this year at Chipewyan and of the Crees investigated last year at Oxford 
House there is no great contrast; neither is there much difference in the 
distribution of the shapes of the noses of the Chipewyan women examined 
this year at Fond-du-lac and the Saulteaux women examined last year at 
Island lake.
