swarthy race ; and also tell us that the Lybian or Kabyle- 

 Berber tribes and the Guanches of the Canaries were all of 

 the same blood. This is the Cro-Magnon type of M. de 

 Quatrefages, the Silurian of Professor RoUeston, the Berber or 

 Iberian of others, and amongst their representatives these 

 writers class the Welsh of Denbighshire, the Irish of Kerry 

 and Galway, some Scotch, the Spanish Basques, ths 

 Corsicans, Sicilians, Berbers, and Guanches, and their pre- 

 historic remains are found, we are told, in the long barrows, 

 as well as in the Genista Cave (Gibraltar). Their physical 

 characteristics being Dolichocephalic ortliognathous, with an 

 oval face and swarthy complexion, and dark curly hair. 

 Their stature was short, averaging 5 feet 4 inches ; and their 

 muscular development is described as feeble. The languages 

 of this stock have been classed as Hamitic. But then we also 

 find another short and dark people with black straight hair 

 and dark eyes, but with distinctly Brachycephalic skulls (c. 

 index 84). This is the race which M. de Quatrefages calls 

 that of Furfooz or Grenelle, which is also Broca's Keltic, the 

 Lapponoide of Priiner Bey, M. Riitimeyer's Dissentis type, 

 also the Ligurian ; to this type I find attached by these 

 authorities the short dark people of Central France, the 

 Auvergnats, and Savoyards, and also the French Basques as 

 well as the Lapps. Their language is said to be represeated 

 by the Basque. M. de Quatrefages' theory is that the Cro- 

 Magnon race Avhich, according to him, buried in caves, Vv^as 

 overcome and incorporated by that of Furfooz or the 

 Auvergnat race, which buried in cromlechs, and imposed 

 their language upon the conquered tribes. These dark 

 short Brachycephali are termed dark Kelts by Professor Sayce. 

 Drs. Priiner Bey and Carter Blake both observed the peculiar 

 formation of the skulls of this Furfooz or dark Keltic race, 

 to use Professor Sayce's name, and they dwell upon the 

 angular contouis, and lozenge-like shape of the face, and 

 the high cheek bones. Very different are these skulls from 

 those of the Aryan stock with their oval contours, and both 

 the above writers class these Brachycephali with the Mongol 

 or Turanian ; they also, as well as Le Hon, consider them to 

 have been represented by the Ligurian or Iberic race 

 found in Hungary, the Tyrol, Liguria, and in the Pyrenees 

 amongst the Basques, as well as in Finland and Lapland. 

 Professor Sayce separates them, however, from the Euskarian 

 or Basque, who were, he says. Dolichocephalic. Professor Boyd 

 Uawkins, as we have seen, identifies the short dark Dolicho-
