The preceding statements must not, of course, be regarded as implying
any lessening of our interest in the Iroquois group. This large and
important body of Indians was a complex of tribes, some of which, as
yet, are represented but poorly in our collections, so far as their
skeletal remains are concerned. It is possible that more abundant
material will exhibit some differences between these tribes, owing to
their varied earlier associations and perhaps to other agencies. In any
event, the Iroquois are well worthy of further study, even though there
may not be strong probability that the chief conclusion reached in this
work, namely, their close physical relation with the Algonquians, can
be seriously modified.
Much also remains to be done with respect to the Algonquians. The
Canadian tribes have scarcely been touched as yet; there are numerous
gaps in the skeletal collections from our Eastern states; and data on
skeletal parts other than the skull in the principal tribes are very
deficient.
