Ethiopian embrn ces 

 the African central 

 tribes and their 

 varieties, the Ne 

 groes of Western 

 Africa, and the 

 Kafirs of the south. 

 The Central Afri 

 cans are marked 

 by an elongated, 

 narrow cranium, 

 crisp and curly 

 hair, projecting 

 jaws, thick lips, 

 and black or dusky 

 skin. In the Negro 

 the skull is narrow, 

 or compressed at 

 the sides, and 

 elongated from front to back, the dome arched and dense, the 

 forehead convex, retreating, and narrow ; the contour of the head 

 is smooth compared with the angular form of the Mongol ; the 

 cheak bones project forward ; the bridge of the nose is small and 

 flat, the nostrils round and wide ; mouth wide with thick lips ; 

 hair crisp and woolly, except the eyebrows and eyelashes ; beard 

 scanty on the upper lip, and chiefly confined to the point of the 

 chin ; body strong, muscular, and symmetrical ; feet broad and 

 heavy, and the soles flat. In the Kaffir the cranium rises higher, 

 and is more rounded than in the Negro ; the cheek bones project, 

 the eyes are small and dark, the eyelids occasionally oblique, the 

 face tapers towards the chin, and the jaws are much less prominent 

 than those of the Negro,

Because it includes the aboriginals of the American continent^
