*The term " typical hair " is used in a technical sense for the curly hair of the " brown- 

 skinned " negroes of the Bermudas. The texture is coarse and it is very curly, but can 

 usually be combed and pulled out straight enough to braid in one or two " pigtails " behind, 

 or if it is done up on top of the head it makes a fairly respectable " bob." It seems to grow 

 longer than the black natives' hair and has a less obstinate wiry curl in it. — F. H. D.
