Their females have 



TIES OF 



MEN.. 



generally coarfe features, few having any thing agreeable or pleafmg 



in 



their 



d faces, with thick lip 



d wide mouth 



Their 



teeth are fine, their eyes lively, the hair finely curled, the body 

 in fuch as have not yet borne children, is well proportioned, with 

 a flowing outline, and fine extremities. The generality are of a 

 mil J and good natured temper, ready to pleafe their guefls in every 

 thing in which they can be ferviceable : but the ungrateful foil 

 affording them only a fparing fubfiftence, and that too, not to be 

 procured without much labour, they could not fupply us with any 



•m 



'•oots or vegetables ; and we were obliged to provide them with the 

 firfl: dog and bitch, and the firft boar and fow, which in time to 

 come may perhaps fupply them with a new and acceptable change 



one of the New 



of food. 



Secondly, The inhabitants of Tanna, 

 Hebrides, are almoft of the fame fwarthy colour as the former; 



■ 



only a few had a clearer complexion, and in thefe the tips of their 



hair were of a yellowifh brown : the hair and beards of the reft are 



all black and crifp, nay, in fome woolly. The generality of them 



are tall, ftout, and well made, none of them are corpulent or 



fat. The features of the greateil part are manly and bold, and but 



few are difagr^eable. Their females are of the fame complexion, 



have before child-bearing, generally a fine outline, but they are all 



ill-favoured.
