[128] For comparative data on these and other proportions see writer's
Old Americans, Baltimore, 1925; also Topinard's and Martin's textbooks.

Egypt, Smiths. Misc. Coll., Washington, 1912; Anthropology of the

[130] A word of slight caution is due here. In all these cases
the proper way would be to compare the Eskimo with whites of same
mean stature. But we have no such whites available. As it is the
comparisons must be taken merely as approximations, but they are so
close approximations that the substance of the conclusions is probably
correct.
[131] The chest dimensions correlate with stature, respectively the
trunk height, and the breadth correlates with the depth; but both are
influenced by function.
