Note 118 — II. EASTERN INDIAN CRANIA IN GENERAL

Reading edition

Just as this memoir is about to go to the printer, there appears a study, by Marian Vera Knight, on The Craniometry of Southern New England Indians (Yale Univ. Press, 1915, IV, pp. 1-36, 9 pl.), constituting a report on approximately 90 skulls, many of them imperfect, from Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A majority of the specimens are those that have already been studied by Carr and Russell, and more especially by the present writer. The results agree closely with those shown in this report, although Miss Knight includes some specimens that may safely be regarded as extraneous, and has not been entirely fortunate in the matter of some of her measurements and comparisons.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
