woolly hair of the Negro. Nor is it necessary for me to recall the 
characteristic features of the Whites in order to contrast them with 
what has been said above of the Indians and Negroes. 
Only a few words more concerning half-breeds are needed to show 
how deeply seated are the primary differences between the pure 
races. Like distinct species among animals, different races of men, 
when crossing, bring forth half-breeds ; and the half-breeds between 
these different races differ greatly. The hybrid between White and 
Negro, called Mulatto, is too well known to require further descrip- 
tion. His features are handsome, his complexion clear, and his 
character confiding, but indolent. The hybrid between the Indian 
and Negro, known under the name of Cafuzo, is quite different. 
His features have nothing of the delicacy of the Mulatto ; his com- 
plexion is dark; his hair long, wiry, and curly; and his character 
exhibits a happy combination between the jolly disposition of the 
Negro and the energetic, enduring powers of the Indian. The 
hybrid between White and Indian, called Mammeluco in Brazil, is 
pallid, effeminate, feeble, lazy, and rather obstinate ; though it 
seems as if the Indian influence had only gone so far as to ob- 
literate the higher characteristics of the White, without imparting 
its own energies to the offspring. It is very remarkable how, in 
both combinations, with Negroes as well as Whites, the Indian im- 
presses his mark more deeply upon his progeny than the other races, 
and how readily, also, in further crossings, the pure Indian char- 
acteristics are reclaimed and those of the other races thrown off. 
I have known the offspring of an hybrid between Indian and 
Negro with an hybrid between Indian and White resume almost 
completely the characteristics of the pure Indian.
