DIFFERENT RACES OF MEN. 



Fourth. The African, or black man, varies from a deep tawny 

 to a perfect jet. The head is narrow; the face projecting towards 

 the lower part; the forehead arched; the eyes projecting; the nose 

 thick and flat; the lips, particularly the upper one, very thick; the 

 jaws prominent; the chin retracted; the hair black, frizzled and 

 woolly. 



The countenance of the negro is more unlike the European, and 

 more like the monkey, than that of any other variety. 



Fifth. The Australian, or tawny man, is of a mahogany color; 

 the head is narrowed at the upper part; the forehead somewhat 

 expanded; the upper jaws slightly prominent; the nose broad, but 

 distinct; and the hair harsh, coarse, long and curly. This variety 

 inhabits New Holland^ and seems to form a middle point between 

 the European and the African. 



In this general classification of mankind, two circumstances must 

 be remembered. First, the distinctive characters will not apply to 

 every individual of the particular division to which they belong; 

 swarthy or copper colored persons are often found among the 

 genuine white race; and European features, and sometimes even a 

 fair skin are to be met with in the black and tawny tribes. 



In the second place, we must recollect that the frequent migra- 

 tions among some of the divisions, particularly the Europeans, 

 would cause this race to be widely scattered, and often prominently 

 intermixed with the other races in their own particular divisions of 

 the globe. 



Consequently, we are more likely to meet with Asiatics and 

 Africans possessing European features, than to find among the 

 white race the wide cheek bones and flat face of the brown man and 

 the flat nose and thick lips of the negro.
