whitest, l)ut speak a few wordfi of those of Asia and tlie 

 Pacific islaiads. 



All over the island world we find curious surviving 

 populations and people that seem to be Caucasian with Mon- 

 golian and Ethiopian races surrounding them. 



There seems to have been a stream of Caucasian emi- 

 gration rig^lit aci'osfi the north of Asia, coming down to 

 Korea, where once existed ai strong kingdom of Caucaisian 

 people. From there a. Caucasian people spread to Saghalien 

 and Japan, and when the present dominant race came they 

 found these white Ainus already there. 



In the Philippmes the white race seems to be repre- 

 sented among the Igorottes. I show you some pictui'es of 

 them, but confej=e that I cannot see the C-aucasian charac- 

 t-er in any I have seen. Tho-se that I have seen are dis- 

 tinctly Mongolian. 



The Dyaks, of Borneo, are supposed by some to be 

 Caucasian. I show you a picture of some, but my speci- 

 mens seem to me unquestionably Malay or Mongolian. 



But in the Polynesian islands we find some splendid 

 specimens of the race. I ehow you some from Hawaii. 



American Indian. 



The American race is. the most homogeneous in physi- 

 cal type of any of the great branches of the human family. 

 About its origin there are a.s many theories as there are 

 students looking for fame out of originality. Junks with 

 people for i\Bia blown westward and stranded on our shoree. 

 Japanese, Tartars, etc., all gather here by various means 

 that attest the ingenuity of the anthor of the theoiy. There 

 is always: a tradition also, and all sorts of language con? 

 nection. Even our old friend Atlantis has been made to 

 bring the Egyptians across the Atlantic to people America 

 and build the pyramids of Mexico. 



I have heard m.any and diveme theories promulgated 

 before this Association. They were all interesting and^ 

 pla.usib.le. What a, pity they were untenable.
