_The ears._--The ears of the western Eskimo are large. They are
especially long. They exceed in both size and relative length those of
whites, but are in both respects much more like those of the American
Indian. The excess in length, both in the Eskimo and the Indian, is
especially marked when this measurement is taken in relation to stature.
Relatively to its length, the ear of the female Eskimo in all our
groups is somewhat narrow, giving a lower index. This is not observed
in the available whites and Indians.
None of the series below are affected seriously by the age factor;
though with an organ so much influenced by age as the ear the ideal way
would be to compare only groups of the same age.
