The solution set forth in this paper formed a part of a thesis for the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy, taken in Anthropology at Harvard
University.
Thanks are due Dr. A. M. Tozzer of Harvard University, and Mr. S. G.
Morley of The Carnegie Institution of Washington, for the interest they
have taken in my work and the valuable aid they have given. I must thank
especially Professor R. W. Willson of the Astronomical Department of
Harvard for the inestimable help and unfailing patience he has
contributed to my work. There are many statements throughout this paper
which are the direct result of his teachings.
I wish also to thank Mr. Charles P. Bowditch, without whose inspiration
and aid this work would not have been accomplished.
