structure between the Caucasian and the Caffre, 

 or even between individual Caucasians or individual 

 Caffres. There are differences in structure and 

 topography, often very noticeable differences, even 

 among members of the same family. But in all 

 of its essential characters, and extending often to 

 astonishing particulars, the structure of man is

In external appearances the man-like races differ 

 from men in having a luxuriant covering of natural 

 hair. But anthropoids differ very much among 

 themselves in this particular. The orang, usually 

 covered with long hair, is sometimes almost hair-

 whose bodies are covered with a considerable 

 growth of hair. The Todas (Australians) and 

 Ainus (aborigines of Japan) are noted for the 

 hairiness of their bodies, certain individuals among 

 them being covered with a real fur, especially on 

 the lower limbs (2). 



Individuals also often appear in every race with 

 a remarkable development of the hair. Adrian 

 and his son Fedor, exhibited years ago over 

 Europe as ' dog-men,' are examples. The father 

 was completely covered with a thick growth of fine

 and also his sister, were covered with hair like the
