The AUSTEALIAFS. 

 The natives of Australia 

 are quite black, and 

 have the nose and mouth 

 very wide ; the lips are 

 thick, but not so much 

 so as in the Negro ; the 

 hair is black and curly, 

 but not woolly ; the 

 eyes are very small, 

 deeply set, black, and 

 keen ; the lower part 

 of the face does not pro- 

 ject like that of the Ne- 

 gro. These make a wide 

 distinction between the 

 two races, although they 

 have been confounded 

 with each other. 



The NEGEO. This 

 race appears to differ 

 from the European more 

 than any other. The 

 skin of the Negro is 

 quite black and shining, 

 the hair black, closely 

 crisped into a sort of 

 wool, and never grow- 

 ing to any great length ; 

 they have but little 

 beard, the nose is flat 

 and broad, and the lips 

 very thick and pro- 

 truding, as is also the 

 whole lower part of the 

 face; the front teeth also 

 project outwards, and 

 the whole contour of 



AUSTRALIAN.
