Of all the tribes of Siberia the Samöeids are nearest to the Eskimo, or Greenlanders, in their physical appearance. Varieties, however, have been described; some tribes having been called _tall_, others _fair_. The general character is that of the Laplander, and the Eskimo--the other circumpolar divisions of the human species.[87] The Koibals are in all probability the most advanced of the Samöeids--being the owners of herds, flocks, horses, and camels(?). [Illustration: Fig. 9.] As early as A.D. 1096, the term _Samöeid_ appears in the Russian chronicles, and it is to be found again in the Travels of Plan Carpin, a hundred and fifty years later.
