" NATIONALITY.'^ 301 



In " Mediterranean race " and " Baltic race," I was only using' 

 a short expression by which to refer to the people, whose existence 

 Colonel Conder seems to recognise, namely, the ever-shifting sea- 

 faring population of the shores of those seas, which has resulted 

 in a mixed race, sometimes derived more from one, sometimes 

 more from another source, but having now many traits in common 

 along the whole seaboard ; and indeed having more in common 

 Avith one another than with any single people from whom they 

 v-ere derived.
