[26] Glazunof (Wrangell, Stat. und Ethnog. Nachr., 146-147): "The men
are big, brunette, with bristly black hair."
Zagoskin (pt. II, 61-62): "The Tinneh belong in general to the American
family of redskins, but marked external differences are perceptible
in those who are mixed with the Eskimo. The Tinneh are of medium
stature, rather dry but well shaped, with oblong face, forehead medium,
upright, frequently hairy, nose broad and straight, hooked, eyes black
and dark brown, rather large * * * expression intelligent, in those
of more distant tribes somber, roving; lips full, compressed; teeth
white, straight; hair straight, black to dark brown, fairly soft; many
of the men hairy over the body and with fairly thick, short mustache
and beard; hands and feet medium, calves small; in general lively,
communicative, cheerful, and very fond of pleasure and song."
Dall, William H., Alaska and Its Resources, 53-54: "The Ingaliks are,
as a rule, tall, well made, but slender. They have very long, squarely
oval faces, high, prominent cheek bones, large ears, small mouths,
noses, and eyes, and an unusually large lower jaw. The nose is well
formed and aquiline, but small in proportion to the rest of the face.
The hair is long, coarse, and black, and generally parted in the
middle. * * * Their complexion is an ashy brown, perhaps from dirt in
many cases, and they seldom have much color. On the other hand, the
Koyúkuns, with the same high cheek bones and piercing eyes, have much
shorter faces, more roundly oval, of a pale olive hue, and frequently
arched eyebrows and a fine color. They are the most attractive in
appearance of the Indians in this part of the territory, as they are
the most untamable. The women especially are more attractive than those
among the Ingaliks, whose square faces and ashy complexion render the
latter very plain, not to say repulsive." (Some of these statements
were evidently somewhat in error.--A. H.)
Schwatka, F. (Milit. Reconn. (1883), Comp. Narr. Explor. Alas., 350):
"As regards these Ingaliks as a class, they are, as a rule, of average
height, tolerably well built, but slender, differing in this respect
from the natives farther down the river. They have long black hair and
a complexion brown by nature, but often verging toward black on account
of a liberal covering of dirt."

were measured by A. J. Stone and reported by F. Boas (Bull. Am. Mus.
