Contrary to what was seen in the case of the hand, the relative
proportions of the Eskimo foot, as expressed by the index, are almost
identical with those of the southwestern and Mexican Indians. The Sioux
foot is relatively longer, and so is that of whites except southern
Italians, who, though their foot as a whole is larger, give the same
index as the Eskimo.
