The anthropological investigations of the northern
Chinese and other ethnical groups of Manchuria and Korea published up to the
present time are so insignificant that they may be neglected. There are some
materials on the Mongols (Buriats) and Mongolized Tungus of Transbaikal by Dr. Talko-Hryncewicz
and some materials on the Tungus and Palaeoasiatics of Siberia by Mr. J. J.
Mainoff and Dr. Yohelson-Brodsky [14]. Besides these materials, the major part
of the anthropological investigations of Koreans [15], Gilyaks [16], Goldis
[17] and Tungus of eastern part of my first region, as indicated above remain
up to the present time unpublished. Some of them are known to me; some of them
were elaborated under my direction. The Manchus, the Dahurs, the Tungus of
Urulga and Barguzin and the Tungus of the Middle course of the Amur River had
never been investigated previous to my expeditions.

16. The measurements of Mr. L. J. Sternberg, Ethnographer of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and these of Mr. Vasilieff, of the Russian Museum in Petrograd.
17. The Goldis and other Tungus were measured by Mr. Sternberg, Mr. Vasilieff and in 1914 by Mr. Poniatowsky of the Univer;ity of Krakow. Also Miss Afanasieff, who is Tungus herself, measured some tens of Tungus, but this material and ethnographical collections were burned by the bolsheviks in Nikolaevsk on the Amur River. Besides the above mentioned materials some measurements were made by Mr. Lopatin of Far-Eastern University and Colonel Arsenieff.
