Province of Malaga. 



Near Palo, a small fishing village four miles from 

 the town of Malaga, at the door of a cottage, lying 

 basking in the hot sun, was a family of five small 

 children — two flaxen-haired, two brown-haired, and 

 one with coal-black hair and very dark brown skin, 

 in marked contrast to his brothers and sisters. They 

 were evidently of one family, being in steps of age 

 upwards, from the flaxen-haired baby of a few months 

 old who was rolling just inside the door. 



In the town of Malaga was noticed a man with 

 Negro features and skin colour. He was photo- 

 graphed. Amongst ten men sitting on a wall in the 

 sun at the end of the Alameda, one was a Negro in 

 feature, skin colour, and prognathous jaw, but the 

 black hair was smooth. On the Alameda at the same 

 hour, were two boys with Negro skin colour, hair 

 colour, and eye colour, and one girl having the same 

 Negro characters. 



At Mass in the Cathedral was a school of twenty 

 girls — amongst them one partially negro featured 

 with Negro skin colour and prognathous jaw. 



One man in the street with exact Negro features, 

 the wide-spreading upturned nostrils ; but his black 

 hair was straight, and he had a beard. 



Another man with the high nose and Arab type 

 of features, but with a Nigger crop of woolly curls. 

 Here again we appear to have evidence of the 

 segregation of the factors for facial features from 

 the factors for hair.
