Abstract
In this article Hildén summarizes the unpublished data on the physical anthropology of the Selkup, collected by Donner during his Siberian travels in 1911-14. (See Donner 1954, this file) Donner gives measurements for only 37 Selkup, and Hildén asserts Donners points of measurement do not conform to modern anthropological procedures. Despite these shortcomings, Donners material is valuable because there are no other published sources on the anthropometry of the Selkup.
