THE ULOTEICHI AND THE LEIOTEICHI. 497 



a. The colour of tlie Ulotrichi varies from yellow-bi-own 

 to the darkest hue known among men. The hair and eyes 

 are normally dark, and, with only a few exceptions (amono' 

 the Andaman Islanders), they are dolichocepliali. The Ne- 

 groes and Bushmen of ultra-Saharal Africa, and the Ne- 

 gritos of the Malay peninsula and archipelago, and of the 

 Papuan islands, are the members of this Negroid stock. 



6. The Leiotrichi are divisible into — 



1. The Australioid group, with dark skin, hair, and eyes, 

 wavy, black hair, and eminently long, prognathous, skidls. 

 with well- developed brow ridges, who are found in Australia 

 and in the Dekhan. The ancient Egyptians appear to me 

 to have been a modification of this race. 



2. The Mongoloid group, with, for the most part, yellowish 

 brown, or reddish brown, skins and dark eyes, the haii- being 

 long, black, and straight. Their skulls range between the 

 extremes of dohchocephaly and those of brachycephaly. 

 These are the Mongol, Tibetan, Chinese, Polynesian, 

 Esquimaux and American races. 



3. The Xanthochroic group, with pale skins, blue eyes, and 

 abundant fair hair. Their skulls, like those of the Mongo- 

 loid group, range between the extremes of dolichocephaly 

 and brachycephaly. The Slavonians, Teutons, Scandi- 

 navians, and the fair Celtic-speaking people are the chief 

 representatives of this division ; but they extend into North 

 Africa and Western Asia. 



4. The dark whites, or Melanochroi; pale-complexioned 

 people, with dark hair and eyes, and generally long, but 

 sometimes broad, skulls. These are the Iberians and " black 

 Celts" of Western Europe, and the dark-complexioned 

 white people of the shores of the Mediterranean, Western 

 Asia, and Persia. I am disposed to think that the Melan- 

 ochroi are not a distinct group, but result from the mixture 

 of Australioids and Xanthochroi.
