strongly distinct from the blacker races of New Guinea at the north, 

 and Tasmania at the south. The Australians, with skin of dark 

 chocolate-color, may be taken as a special ty23e of the brown races of 

 man. AVhile their skull is narrow and jn'ognathous like the negro's, it 

 differs from it in special points, and has peculiarities which distinguish 

 it very certainly from that of other races. In the portraits of Austra- 

 lians (Figs. 14, 15), there may be noticed the heavy brows and project- 

 ing jaws, the wide but not flat nose, the full lips, and the curly but 

 not woolly black hair. On the continent of India, the Dravidian hill- 

 tribes present the type of the old dwellers in South and Central India 

 before the conquest by the Aryan Hindoos. Fig. 16 represents one of 

 the ruder Dravidians, from the Travancore forests.

The Mongoloid type of man has its best marked representatives on 

 the vast steppes of Northern Asia. Their skin is brownish-yellow, 

 the hair of the head black, coarse, and long, but face-hair scanty. 

 Their skull is characterized by breadth, projection of cheek-bones, and 

 forward position of the outer edge of the orbits, which, as well as the 

 slightness of brow-ridges, the slanting aperture of the eyes, and the 

 snub-nose, are observable in Fig. 17, and in Fig. 5 {d). The Mongoloid 

 race is immense in range and numbers. The great nations of South- 

 east Asia show their connection with it in the familiar complexion and 

 features of the Chinese and Japanese. Fig. 18 gives portraits from 

 Corea. In his wide migrations over the world, the Mongoloid, through 

 change of climate and life, and still further by intermarriage with
