at every point. We may divide the volume into 

 three parts : 



Part I. Somatic characters, morphological and 

 physiological, Chapters I.-III. 



Part II. Ethnic characters, linguistic, industrial, 

 sociological. Chapters IV. -VIII. 



Part III. Classification of races and peoples, gen- 

 eral and ethnic, IX. to close. 



The first and the third parts are the best 

 written, being in the author's special line. One 

 is always eager to find out the point of view of a 

 work like this, and we are not kept in suspense. 

 ' Ethnic groups ' are at once separated from 

 ' somatological units' or 'races.' The latter 

 are ' ' theoretic types formed of an aggregation 

 of physical characters combined in a certain 

 way." These entities, theoretic conceptions, 

 are exactly like species in zoologj'. Here is 

 Deniker's list :
