hairiness, and the greater percentage of persons with carious teeth, are 
amongst the factors that proclaim this. This third reason most likely 
explains at least some of the not definitely significant differences between 
the mean proportions of the two bands. 
Table VIII 
Cree Compared with Cree; Cree Compared with Chipewyan 
In section A the Cree at Chipewyan are compared with the Cree at Oxford House. 
In section B the Cree at Chipewyan are compared with the Chipewyan at Fond-du-lac, 
The first and second columns of each section record their mean or average measurements; 
the third column, the differences between the means; and, the fourth column, entitled 
Diff/P.E. diff., states the number of times a difference is greater than its probable error. 
No entry has been made unless a difference is more than 2*2 times greater than its prob- 
able error.

Contrast now these Cree from Chipewyan, which is at the west end 
of lake Athabaska, with the Chipewyans at Fond-du-lac, which is at the 
east end of the lake. Though only 175 miles separate their reserves, the 
tw r o bands springing from different stock, and speaking different tongues, 
differ from each other in a variety of physical proportions, but — and it is 
worthy of more than passing notice — in the only four respects (stature, 
length of head, length of upper lip, and length of ear) in which the Chipe-
