In the fourth column of section A it is noticed that in four instances 
3-0 or a figure greater than 3 0 is set down; namely, for the sitting height 
(3-5), cephalo-facial index (4*9), nose height (4*9), and nasal index (3*0). 
Two of these are measurements; two are indices. It is, therefore, safe to 
assume that between the Chipewyan men at Fond-du-lac and those at 
Chipewyan there is a difference in mean sitting height, and that this differ- 
ence is at least (as the third column indicates) 2*1 cms. (nearly an inch); 
that there is a difference of at least 3*2 mms. in nose height; of at least 
2*5 per cent in cephalo-facial index; and of at least 4*2 per cent nasal 
index. 
If, however, we are prepared to regard Diff./P.E. diff. of 2*5 (the odds 
being 9*90 to 1*0) as significant, then between these two bands, in addition 
to the above four items, we must include differences in the biparietal, 
menton-crinion, and menton-nasion measurements, in the facial and ear 
indices and in the width of the hand. The minimal extent of these differ- 
ences is denoted in column 3. 
From section B, columns 3 and 4, it may be seen that between the 
Fond-du-lac and Fitzgerald men there is a difference of 5*6 cms. (or more 
than 2 inches) in stature. This difference is clearly due to the long legs of 
the Fitzgerald men, for the lengths of their bodies (vertebral column and 
head), as noted by their sitting height, are the same. The Fitzgerald men 
have very slightly rounder heads; it is quite likely that their faces are 
narrower (Diff./P.E. diff. 2-5); there is certainly a difference in their
