Excerpt from The Craniometry of Southern New England Indians The best model known to me along this line is the paper by Carr, 1880, who presented numerous careful measurements of the crania of New England Indians; but this paper is now thirty-five years old; it was written when there were great differences both in the measurements taken by different individuals and in the manner of taking them, when the instruments used were almost as individual as the measurements, when there was neither a Frankfort Horizontal nor an International Prescription. With this need in mind I began some time ago to make a series of measurements upon a few local aboriginal crania collected in and about the town of Hadley, Mass, and shown to be absolutely genuine by the associated objects or the mode of burial. To this I added a few more from local excavations, now in the Gilbert Collection of Amherst College. Since, however, the time and opportunity failed me for continuing this work, I entrusted the entire matter to my pupil, Miss Knight, whose paper, compiled in the Anthropological Laboratory of Smith College, is here presented.
