IV. — ETHNOLOGY.^ 



Since the dividing lines between races have come to be drav7n upon 

 color rather than upon osteology, much ingenuity has been expended in 

 devising a scheme of colors. Broca's standards, published in the first 

 edition of the British Association "Anthropological Notes and Queries," 

 are well known. They appear also in the French " Queries." Dr. Bed- 

 doe, president of the London Anthropological Institute, has further 

 studied these Broca standards and makes the following subdivisions: 



(1) Red (including pink) passing through reddish brown towards 

 black. 



(2) Orange, or reddish yellow, passing through brown towards black. 



(3) Yellow, passing through yellow brown and olive brown toward 

 black. 



(4) Gray or cendre, darkening to black. 



Dr. Beddoe presents an ingenious table, in which the proportions of 

 these colors are given for people that he has specially examined.

This is followed by a more extended table, in which the proportions 

 of Broca's numbers entering into each skin color are given. The nota- 

 ble differences of form existing between the parts of the skeleton and 

 the other profound portions of the body in different groups of mankind 

 seem to have been produced antecedent to these migrations and sep- 

 arations which have brought about race distinctions at present, such 

 as color of skin and eyes and texture of the hair. 



Dr. Daniel G. Brinton has published a volume on Races and Peoples, 

 in which he combines the results of a course of lectures before the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. This volume supplies a 

 vacancy previously existing, since there was no good summary of eth- 

 nology published in English giving the results of modern research. 

 The peculiar doctrine of the author is the location of man's origin in 

 southwestern Europe and the parts of Africa opposite, both on zoolog- 

 ical and archaeological grounds. His cl ass iti cations of mankind, though 

 agreeing essentially with those of other recent systematists, possess
