The above fifty-seven resemblances may not constitute in themselves 

 proof positive that the present Denes are the old Tungus tribes, but they

PHYSICAL FEATURES AND HABITS OF THE TUNGUS AND THE DENES. 



Adelung quotes Dr. Redowsky as thus describing the Tungus : " They 

 have flat faces, projecting cheek bones, little, sparkling eyes. The 

 women are almost universally uglier than the men. The Tungus are for

 are very lively in conversation, and accompany all their utterances with

 the chase and war." Sauer, so far as he goes, agrees rather with 

 Redowsky than with Santini. " They are rather below the middle size 

 and extremely active ; have lively, smiling countenances, with small
