A very remarkable showing is that of the percentage relation of
the female to male skull size in the three large groupings. In the
first two it is identical, in the third it differs less than could
confidently be expected among the closest relatives. Another remarkable
fact is that this important relation is found to be much like that
in the Eskimo in various groups of Indians; thus it was _96_ in the
Indians of Arkansas and Louisiana,[4] _95.5_ in the Munsee of New
Jersey,[146] and _96.4_ in the Indian skulls of California.[147] But
it is only _93.6_ in the Sioux (52 male, 40 female skulls) and differs
more or less also in other tribes and peoples. A comprehensive study of
this relation, with due respect to age, will some day well repay the
effort.
