The Papuan race arc ro . inbabitin 



I ids. Th y differ from tb restof mankind in th 



or harshness of the skin. The hair is In great quantity, naturally 

 frizzled and wiry ; when dressed, its thickness will prol 

 a heavy blow ; it actually incommodes the wearer when lying down, 

 anil renders necessary a wooden neck-pillow. The heard exceeds in 

 quantity that of all except the White races. The features resemble 

 the Negro, but the face is longer ; in stature they exceed the White 

 race. The favorite color among the Fecjeans is vermilion-red ; 

 among the Malays it is yellow. The former have«iot the excessive 

 fondness for flowers manifested by the Polynesians ; they rarely anoint 

 themselves with oil ; they salute by touching- noses instead of lips. 

 Among the Feejeans there exists a general system of parricid' . 



s die a natural death; when they have passed the prime of 

 life, and are unfit for the service of the state, the son makes use of 

 his privilege and takes the life of his parent. This strange custom, 

 apparently so inhuman, is a sacrifice in favor of the children, — a kind 

 of savage virtue in a land where the means of subsistence are limited. 

 Cannibalism is of daily occurrence, and is regarded in the light of a 

 refinement. 



The Negrillo race occupies the Xew Hebrides, the interior of 

 New Guinea, Luzon, &c. It differs from the Papuan in its diminu- 

 tive stature, general absence of beard, the inclined profile, and the 

 exaggerated Negro features ; the hair is less knotty than that of the 

 Negro, and more woolly than that of the Papuan.
