402 Some Racial Peculiarities of the Negro Brain 
muscular ; black hair and eyes; platyrrhine nose; thick lips; prognathous 
face; beautifully white, sound teeth; small square ears (Hrdlicka ™) ; 
long upper and short lower extremities; flat feet; heads dolichocephalic, 
or even approaching subbrachycephaly ; and brains weighing from 1000 to 
1200 grams,—possibly more. This is the most prevalent class of Negro 
in the South. Thirdly, the high class Guinea Negro, similar to the low 
class, but developed along broader lines, and instead of being ugly, di- 
minutive, with large and squat limbs, and a round or short face, they are 
comparatively handsome, taller, with well-proportioned limbs and a long 
face. They exist in fairly large numbers in certain localities, but are 
much less prevalent than the low-class Guinea Negro. The second group 
is made up of Kaffirs and other Mulattoes, and Mulattoids, or Mulatto- 
hike individuals. The Kaffirs are represented by the Zulus in Virginia 
and North Carolina, being particularly noted for their height and intelli- 
gence. They have various shades of dark brown skin; very high stature, 
sim and well made; thick, woolly hair, and dark brown eyes; broad, flat 
nose, sometimes highly arched, Romanesque, or Arablike; thick lips; 
long, oval face; slight prognathism and platyrrhiny; long, high heads, 
with narrow foreheads, and median frontal protuberances; and large 
brains, weighing from 1300 to 1500 grams. They do not exist in great 
numbers except in certain sections, as in Virginia and North Carolina 
where they are fairly prevalent. The Mulattoes are such a heterogeneous 
conglomeration as to beggar description. Three classes do stand out dis- 
tinctly though. One is the large, yellow Mulatto with every feature mag- 
nified and like the Negro, tremendous frame, sometimes veritable giants, 
and a conspicuous bumptiousness and volubility. Another is the small, 
almost white Mulatto, with Caucasian features, neat, compact frame, and 
partaking of the qualities of the Caucasian mentally. A third is that pe- 
culiar mottled Mulatto or Mulattoid mentioned by Shaler.” There are 
all sorts of mixtures of all the classes mentioned above forming a not 
inconsiderable part of the Negro population. There may be a few other 
types of Negroes here and there, such as the Ethiopians, Papuans, Ne- 
gritos, and perhaps Australians, and one occasionally sees a red Negro, 
probably a Foulah from the heart of Africa in the region of the Soudan, 
or a Dahomian from near there, but these are so rare as to be inconsid- 
erable. A few mixed bloods with Indian characteristics are occasionally 
observed. This classification is slightly different from that given by Prof. 
Shaler,” but only in minor points. It does not differ materially from 
Tobinard’s™ classification of the Negro in the West and South of Africa, 
from which sections nearly all of the Negroes of America are supposed 
to have been brought.
