of Ethiopian or Alongolian blood. Tlie general fineneefi of 

 the features, ishows something of tlie Aryan f-itrain. Tl:i,6 

 wavy black hair shows, sometliing of tlie negi'o mixture. 

 Their very frail, emaciated figuresj show possibly the Negrito 

 or dwarf negroi element. I am not sure of thLs point. The 

 exceeding frailness and Glenderaess of the figure may point 

 to Negrito blcjod, or be an inheritance from the low Gan- 

 casian, or it may cornc from generations of half -starved 

 ancestors. 



The Tamils are very s-lender and vei^y black. One of 

 oiu* negroes would look pale beside a Tamil, and yet the 

 Tamil has much whit-e blood in hitn. He has a^ timid, 

 hunted look. Like his Negrito ancestors, ho ie a wild 

 thhig. 



The Sikh has the wild, fierce look of the bhd of prey, 

 eager to fight and tear his enemy to pieces. The Tamil has 

 the v.dld, hunted look of an animal driven into a corner, but 

 he wantsi to run away. 



In Ceylon we find tv/o races, Tamil and Sinhalese. 

 The Tamils are a mixture of the aboriginal races. The 

 Sinhalese are the descendants of Aryans who conquered 

 them. The Sinhalese are splendid Aryan types, but not so 

 large or fierce as thoee of the North of India. 



If the writer met Si Hindu in Rangoon or Singapore, 

 or so^me city outside of India, he could tell with some de- 

 gree of acciu'acy from what part of India the man come, 

 by hie physical type, largely by the shape of his nose. 



As one goes north of the river valley country in India, 

 the race changes as you reach the mountains. The high, 

 hawk-like noses disappear and one sees flat noses and wide 

 cheek bones. The tall, square, slender figures have gone, 

 and we see short, sturdy men with straight hair and flat 

 faces. The complexion m lighter, but yellower, and the 

 Aryan has disappeared, the Mongolian is in possession. 



Mongolian Race.
