VIRILE SENTIMENT 111 



to be found a scientifically recorded statement of 

 the facts. The material exists, but it wants scientific 

 analysis and recording. If this address should be read 

 by any persons of leisure, or by medical men, who 

 may at any time be resident in Canada, and who may 

 become acquainted with families where intermarriage 

 between Europeans and Red Indians has occurred, 

 they may render services of the greatest value by 

 taking photographs, both full-face and side-view, of 

 the grandparents, parents, offspring, and of as many 

 collaterals as possible, and recording as carefully as 

 can be the colour of the skin (both that exposed and 

 that protected), the colour of the eyes, and the colour 

 and nature of the hair of each individual. More 

 valuable still would it be if a lock of the hair of as many 

 persons as possible were obtained. If it is not possible 

 to obtain complete pedigrees, then partial ones will 

 serve the purpose, provided that the nature (whether 

 half-castes or otherwise) of the different individuals 

 is accurately ascertained. A letter addressed to me 

 at the London Hospital Medical College, London, E.,

 between negroes and Europeans and the various 

 marriages of the mulattoes could be recorded. In

 desirable, if possible, that observations as to differences 

 in tints in each class should be recorded. It is also 

 very essential that not only skin colour, but hair 

 colour, hair texture (whether European or woolly), 

 and eye colour should be recorded. Other facial 

 features will, of course, be recorded in the photo-
