218 PHYSICAL INVESTIGATION. [PART I. 



we would only add the following. Red hair is frequently 

 noticed among Negroes and Mulattoes; 1 also among the 

 Papuas 2 in the South Sea, where Quiros was struck by it ; 3 

 in Tahiti, New Zealand, and elsewhere; 4 in Timor, 5 among 

 the Esquimaux, 6 among the Esthonians and Wotjakes, 7 among 

 the Hindoos and the Arabs of Yembo, more rarely in Cey- 

 lon, Cochin-China and Tonkin. 8 Especially remarkable are 

 the great differences exhibited by the peoples of the table-land 

 above Dilli (Timor). Some of the natives have a dark yellow 

 colour ; the parts exposed to the sun are covered with light- 

 brown patches ; the hair is straight and thin, its natural colour 

 reddish, or of a dark chestnut-brown. There are also found in 

 Timor all intermediate shades of the skin, from dark yellow to 

 black or chocolate-brown ; and the hair from red and straight 

 to the short and woolly hair of the Papuas. 9 Red hair and 

 variously coloured eyes are also met with among the Congo- 

 Negroes and the Bushmen. 10 Brown eyes are very common in 

 Bonny. 11 Among the Akoos (Yarriba), the iris is light-brown or 

 dark chestnut, sometimes dark sea-green. 12 Even at Madagas- 

 car there are blue-eyed women. 13 Scarlett 14 saw in Peru a per- 

 fectly black Negro-boy with light blue eyes, whose mother had 

 one eye black and the other blue. Kabyles with red hair and 

 blue eyes are mentioned by Bruce 15 and others, and Blumen- 

 bach quotes similar instances. Barbot states that the wives 

 of the Gralibis (Caribs) in Guiana have mostly blue eyes ; 

 and Wallis found in Tahiti people with brown, red, and
