ANTHROPOLOGICAL WORK AMONG THE INDIAN TRIBES OF THE SOUTHWEST. N January i Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Department of Anthropology, started on his fourth expedi- tion for this Museum to the region of the Aztecs, Pueblos and Cliff-Dwellers, and he expects to re- turn in about eight months. These expeditions have had for their object the systematic study of the physical characteristics of all the Aztec, Pueblo and Cliff-Dweller tribes, living or extinct, from southern Utah and southern Colorado down to the state of Morelos, Mexico. Among other results which may be expected are the definite identification of these tribes and either a refutation or a con- firmation of the theory that the Aztecs came from the north and were probably related to the Pueblos. Physiological obser- vations are also made for a comparison of some of the principal functions of the body, such as pulse, temperature, respiration and muscular force, in these tribes and in white men. Medical observations are made on the ordinary diseases among the Indians and on their manner of treating them. Dr. Hrdlicka's previous expeditions in this series have been as follows: first, in Mexico, in 1898, with Dr. Carl Lumholtz, covering the Tarahumares, Huichols and Tepecanos; second, in 1899, to the Navahos and southern Utes; third, in 1900, to all the Pueblos and Apaches. The present expedition will co\'er the remaining tribes in southwestern Arizona and northern Mexico, among them the Bimas, Papagos, Yaquis, )\Iayos, Tepehuanes, Coras, Aztecs and Tarascos. The first expedition was sup- ported by the Museum; the second, third and fourth by Mr. Frederick E. Hyde, Jr. 3
