530 APPENDIX. 
by his bearing recalls the slender, active Hylobates, the Indian 
is more like the slow, inactive, stout Orang. Of course there are 
exceptions to this rule ; short, thick-built Negroes are occasion- 
ally to be seen, as well as tall, lean Indians ; but, so far as my 
observation goes, the essential difference between the Indian and 
Negro races, taken as a whole, consists in the length and square 
build of the trunk and the shortness of limbs in the Indian as 
compared with the lean frame, short trunk, deep-cleft legs, and 
long arms of the Negro. 
Another feature not less striking, though it does not affect the 
whole figure so much, is the short neck and great width of the 
shoulders in the Indian. This peculiarity is quite as marked in the 
female as in the male, so that, when seen from behind, the Indian 
woman has a very masculine air, extending indeed more or less to 
her whole bearing ; for even her features have rarely the feminine 
delicacy of higher womanhood. In the Negro, on the contrary, 
the narrowness of chest and shoulder characteristic of woman is 
almost as marked in the man ; indeed, 'it may well be said, that, 
while the Indian female is remarkable for her masculine build, the 
Negro male is equally so for his feminine aspect. Nevertheless, 
the difference between the sexes in the two races is not equally 
marked. The female Indian resembles in every respect much more 
the male than is the case with the Negroes ; the females among 
the latter having generally more delicate features than the males. 
On following out the details concomitant with these general dif- 
ferences, we find that they agree most strikingly. In a front 
view of an Indian woman and a Negress the great difference is in 
o o 
the width between the breasts of the former as compared with their 
close approximation in the latter. In the Indian the interval be- 
tween the two breasts is nearly equal to the diameter of one of 
them ; while in the Negro they stand in almost immediate contact. 
But this is not all ; the form of the breast itself is very different 
in the two. The Indian woman has a conical breast, firm and well 
supported, the point being turned so far sideways that the breast
