APPENDIX. 



seems to arise under the arm-pit, the nipple being actually pro- 

 jected on the arm in a full-faced view of tip- che-t. In tin- iie-jr 

 the breast is more cylindrical, looser, and more flaccid, the nipple 

 being turned forward and down ward, .-o that in a front view it i- 

 projected on the chest. In the Indian the inguinal region is 

 broad and distinctly set off from the prominence of the abdomen, 

 while in the Negro it is a mere fold. As to the limb.-, they are not 

 only much longer in proportion in the Negro than the Indian ; 

 their form and carriage differs al.-o. The leg.-, of the Indians are 

 remarkably straight, in the Negro the knee- are bent in, and the hip 

 as well as knee-joint habitually flexed. Similar difference- in other 

 parts of the body are visible from behind; in the Indians the in- 

 terval between the two .-boulders, the shoulder-blades being com- 

 paratively short in them-elve.-, is much gr-ater than in any other 

 race. In this re-pect the women do not ditt'.T from the men, but 

 share in a feature characteristic or' the whole race. This peculi- 

 arity is especially noticeable in a profde view of the figure, in 

 which the broad rounded shoulder marks the outline in the upper 

 part of the trunk and tapers gradually to a well-shaped arm, ter- 

 minating usually in a rather -mall hand ; the little linger is re- 

 markably short. In the Negro, on the contrary, the shoulder-blades 

 are long and placed more clo-ely together, the .-boulder being rather 

 slim and narrow, and the hand disproportionately .-lender, though 

 the fingers are more exten.-ively webbed than in any other race. 

 In this re.-peet, there is little difference between male and female, 

 the build of the male being more mu-cular, but hardly -touter ; in 

 both, a profile view .-hows the back and brea-t projected forwards 

 and backwards of the arm. The proportions between the leiiu'ih 

 and width of the trunk, a- compared with each other, and, mea-uivd 

 from the shoulder to the ba-e of the trunk, hardly dilfer in the 

 Indian and Xegp. ; tin- render- the difference in the relative leng h 

 and Mrenirth of the arms and legs the more apparent. 



I need not allude to the difference of the hair; everybody kno\\- 

 tlie heavy, .-trai^ht black hair of the Indian, and tin- wrinkled,
