This series contains anthropometric measurements for Cahuilla, Catawba, Cherokee, Creek, Crow, Dakota, Kickapoo, Menominee, Navaho, Nez Perce, Omaha, Oneida, Osage, Picuris, Ponca, Potawatomi, Pima, San Felipe, Santa Clara, Sac and Fox, Salish, Seneca, Taos, Yakima, and Wenatchi. There are only a few individuals from most tribes. Three sets of American Museum of Natural History Hyde Expedition forms were completed for each subject: "measures" (head and body measurements), "inspection" (hair, features, limbs, and body surface), and "physiological" (temperature, pulse, health, and senses). Plaster busts were cast of the subjects and the six-digit division of physical anthropology catalog numbers are included among the data. The Chippewa volume includes measurements for a supposed full-blood named Noodin. It is not certain when or where his measurements were made.
