SEGREGATION OF HUMAN TYPES 21 



On the Alameda one of the boot cleaners seen 

 sitting in the same place every day, was a Mulatto. 

 (On enquiry it was found he was a Cuban who had 

 been forty years in Malaga.) He was not married. 



Walking on the Mole of the harbour was a very 

 dark Arab type of Spaniard, raven-black hair and 

 eyes, carrying a year-old boy with flaxen hair and a 

 skin of railk and roses. No fairer child could have 

 been seen in England, and it was evidently his own 

 from the tender care he bestowed upon it. 



In one or two of the dark-skinned, thick-featured, 

 prognathous types was noticed a long, flat nose with 

 scarcely any bridge (not projecting from the face), 

 but without the wide- spreading, upturned nostril.* 



We met a woman in Arab dress, with very dark, 

 high features, raven-black straight hair, and there 

 was also a woman selling oranges and vegetables in 

 the market on the river bank, whose features, hair, 

 and skin colour were all pronounced Negro type. 

 Both were photographed. 



An old man near the market showed the Negro 

 type strongly in feature, hair, skin, and prognathous 

 jaw. 



The extremes of fair and dark are very much 

 greater in Southern Spain than in France or England, 

 as the dark types are many shades darker than any to 

 be found in the latter countries, and the features, 

 more particularly in Malaga, have often a resemblance 



* This seems to suggest, as we should on general grounds expect, that 

 the form of the nose is due to many factors and that these are capable of 

 segregation. See also "Miscellanies," page 200. — [Editor.]
