Excerpt from Skeletal Measurements and Observations on the Point Barrow Eskimo With Comparisons From Other Eskimo Groups OR the past six years the author has made an intensive study F of that very interesting people, the Eskimo. Between three and four years of this time have been spent in work among them, in Bering strait and on the Yukon river in Alaska, and in Labrador and Hudson bay in the east. Although the author has been principally interested in the ingenious culture of these masters of environment, the opportunity for physical Observation has not been neglected. Consequently, when an opportunity Offered for filling in a gap in the physical anthropology of the Eskimo, through the presence of a very complete and fair-sized Skeletal collection from Point Barrow, Alaska, in the Wistar Institute of Anatomy in Philadelphia, which had been left untouched Since its collection in 1898, the author was very glad to supplement his information on this subject. A year was spent on the material with the following results. The collection was measured and its general characteristics out lined and comparisons instituted with other Eskimo tribes. Later, the comparison may be extended to include the Indians bordering on the Eskimo. The author wishes to thank the University Of Pennsylvania for its cordial support in this work, and the Director Of the Wistar Insti tute Of Anatomy for generous accommodations during the pursuit of the same. He also wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. Ralph Linton for the measurements of the long bones, and much helpful assistance in the completion of the work.
