  <abstract>"Ethnological Results of the Point Barrow Expedition" by John Murdoch is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work documents the ethnographic observations and cultural findings from the International Polar Expedition at Point Barrow, Alaska, which took place between 1881 and 1883. The book likely covers a range of topics related to the local Eskimo people, including their customs, physical characteristics, and the tools they utilized.  The opening of the book introduces the context and purpose of the expedition, which was focused on circumpolar scientific observations. It details the background of the expedition, including its command structure, timeline, and the friendly relations established with the local Eskimo communities. The author, as a naturalist and observer, took charge of cataloging collections of artifacts and information pertaining to the Eskimo culture, contributing significantly to the understanding of their way of life. Additionally, the introduction sets the stage for a detailed analysis of various aspects of Eskimo culture, including their environment, tools, social organization, and customs.
