or slightly crisp hair, oblique eyes, and the colour of the 

 Indian. 1 



4. The child of the Indian and the cross-breed of No. 3 re- 

 sembles entirely the Indian, and is considered equal to him 

 before the law. 



5. The child of a white man and a Mestizo is of a light 

 copper colour, has stiff hair and oblique eyes. 



6. The offspring of a white man and a cross-breed No. 5 is 

 white, but has frequently black hair and somewhat oblique 

 eyes. 



7. The child of a white and mongrel No. 6 entirely resem- 

 bles the white. 



The Zamboes or Cabourets (Mulattoes of Negroes and native 

 American women, called in Peru Chinos) are of a dark bronze 

 colour, and have crisp hair and oblique eyes (Castelnau), whilst 

 in other parts their hair is less crisp than that of the Mulattoes, 

 and they possess the nose and mouth of the Negro, but the fore- 

 head, cheeks, and eyes of the Indian. 3 Their physiognomy is 

 much more African than American. The cheek bones are not 

 very prominent, the nose is broad but turned up, the lips thick, 

 but not puffy, the hair half crisp, sometimes merely at the 

 ends, the colour of the skin dark copper or coffee-brown, body 

 slender, but muscular. They are thus described by Schom- 

 burgk, 3 in Guiana, where they are only found in small num- 

 bers, as (which is also the case elsewhere) Indians do not readily 

 intermix with Negroes, whom they despise. The Zamboes, in 

 the south of the United States, present sometimes crisp hair, 

 with copper-coloured skin, and all other Indian characteristics, 

 and sometimes the coarse hair of the Indian upon the head of 

 a Negro with a black skin. There is here no intermediate type 

 produced by intermixture, but there is produced an irregular 

 agglomeration of the characteristics of the parents. 4 To them 

 belong also the Cafusos, whose enormous wigs have been de- 

 scribed by Spix and Martius. 5 The hair rises to 1-1 J feet, and is
