Variety II.—The Mongolian. 
Plate II. fig. 2, and plate III. fig. 2. 
The face is broad, flat, and copper-coloured ; with lateral pro¬ 
jections of the cheek bones : facial angle 75 degrees : eyes 
narrow and oblique ; hair straight and hard, lips thick, nose 
flat, and beard thin. This race inhabits Asia, Finland, Euro¬ 
pean Lapland, including the Esquimaux of North America. 
The skull from which we figured the example, plate 3, fig. 2, 
was a Chinese specimen. The skull is large, but the tempera¬ 
ment is low. The base of the brain is fully developed, but the 
organs of combativeness are deficient. The coronal region is 
fairly developed, but the anterior lobe is remarkably shallow. 
The character indicated, is one fond of animal gratification, but 
not brave ; alive to moral emotions, but feeble in intellect. 
Variety III. —The Ethiopian. 
Plate II. fig. 3, and plate III. fig. 9. 
The skin is in a greater or lesser degree black; hair woolly and 
black; jaw much produced or projecting forward; lips very thick, 
nose flat and broad : facial angle 70 degrees. Inhabits the middle 
parts of Africa. 
This figure is drawn from a cast. The size is of a fair average. 
The characteristics of the developement are, great length and 
moderate breadth. The organ of the love of children is very 
largely developed. The animal organs are large; but without 
presenting the predominating appearance of the Charib and 
New Hollander. The coronal region is pretty fairly developed ; 
and the anterior lobe is considerable. The character is one of 
preponderating animal feeling, but with considerable moral and 
intellectual susceptibility.

minent ; forehead short; nose flattish; hair straight and coarse ;
