Hall (1885-1899); and translations of texts and notes by Franz Boas in Cumberland Sound (1883-84).  "The material here presented ... shows that in ancient times the industrial and artistic development of the Eskimo of Fox Channel and Southampton Island was not by any means as slight as most of the collections made in recent times seemed to indicate" (1907:216).
