tribes of Smilluin Africa, prowlint,'- about in search of rorits, and 

 li\in!:;- concealed on the wild .'uid arid plains, are sufficiently 

 wretched. The Australian, in the simplicity of the arts fjl life, 

 comes nearest the Fue;^ian ; he can, however, boast of liis 

 boomerant;", In's spear and throwint^-stick, his method of 

 climbinL; trees, of tracking; animals, .and of luintinc,''. Althour^'h 

 the Australian ma}' be superior in ac(iuiremenls, it liy i;o means 

 fnllows that he is lil-;ewise superior in mental capacil)- ; 

 indeed, h-om what I saw of the I'"uc;_;ians when on board, and 

 from what I iiaxe read <>{ the Australians, I should think the case 

 was cxacth' the rexerse.
