SEGREGATION OF HUMAN TYPES 19 



people were collected at every station to see the train, 

 giving ample opportunity to observe the proportion 

 of fair to dark, which apparently preserved much the 

 same ratio as in Barcelona, about three-fourths fair 

 to one -fourth dark. In Valencia no observations 

 were made on the colour of the population. 



Province of Ciudad Eeal. 



Alcazar is a junction between the East coast 

 line and the main line from Madrid to Seville, 

 and here we had a seven hours' halt. A man 

 came into the waiting-room, remaining some time 

 cleaning the lamp ; he had a perfect Nigger crop of 

 black, woolly hair, tight frizzled curls close to the 

 scalp, also a very dark skin, but the features ivere 

 not Negro type. 



At Manzanares, further South on the line, was a 

 twenty minutes' halt. Here was seen another man 

 with an absolute Nigger crop of tight, black, woolly 

 curls. Otherwise all along the line fair-haired children 

 and blue-eyed, brown-haired adults abound. At a 

 station, looking out at a standing train which had 

 come from the South, amongst a number of heads 

 thrust out was that of one man with a face almost 

 pure Negro in type of feature and skin colour, with 

 prognathous jaw ; but the hair, though black, was 

 smooth and straight. In the three men thus located 

 in different parts of Spain, the hair appears* to segre- 

 gate independently from the features, and also hair 

 colour and hair structure seem to be two independent 

 factors.
