_The hand._--The hand of the Eskimo is small, both absolutely and
relatively to stature. But it is rather broad relative to its length,
giving a high index. The index is higher than that of any of the groups
available for comparison, white or Indian, excepting a few groups of
immigrant whites, laborers.
