rhine and euryprosope and 6° inclined to brachycephaly : the Mongolians as i° yellowish-brown, 

 2° straight-haired, 3 not hairy, 4 short-set, 5° with Mongolian face and 6° inclined to brachy- 

 cephaly. It is obvious that thèse characteristics are meant in a broad sensé and that the 

 names hâve been very cautiously chosen. Inside the circle I put the races that are to be 

 identified. They are placed according to their probable affinities and then, in correspondence 

 with the nature of their qualities, they are attached to the main races on the outline, either 

 by red, blue or yellow lines. (So according to the similarity of the concerning qualities with those 

 of the Caucasians, Negritoes or Mongolians). Thèse lines are full, when the expressed quality is 

 dominating — but the opposite quality may be, and is practically always, présent in a 

 minority — ; they are dotted, when this is not the case. The hère described drawing is to be found 

 on Plate C at the end of this book; the reader is prayed to fold it out while reading this chapter. 



So the Papuans are connected with full blue lines with "dark", "crisp-hair" and 

 "chamaerrhiny" of the blue segment, because they hâve thèse three dominating qualities in 

 common with the Negritoes. Likewise two full red lines connect them with "inclined to dolicho- 

 cephaly" ') and "hairy" of the red segment for similar reasons. However, a dotted blue line 

 connects them with "inclined to brachycephaly" as this quality occurs in a minority and corro- 

 borâtes the relationship with the Negritoes. Moreover, a dotted red line is drawn to "well-cut 

 face and long nose", because also this quality is obvious and seems to form a tie with the 

 Caucasian race. Finally there is, concerning the standing-height, a dotted line to the Caucasian 

 "inclined to tall stature" as well as to the Négritie "small-stature" as none of thèse qualities 

 are prevailing and therefore none of the lines ought to be full-drawn. Mongolian affinities are 

 not obvious. 



Passing on to the Dravido-Veddaic-Australoïd group, we see the number of full blue 

 lines diminished and those of the red ones increased. It is the dark colour, but still more 

 the shape of nose and face that remember hère of the Négritie group. As for the stature, 

 there are just like in the Papuans two éléments: the Dravidians show great variation in 

 length, the Australians are generally tall, though a shorter variety is not missing and the 

 Vedda are small. The tendency to a finer shape of nose and face is also remarkable among 

 the Dravidians. Dominating characteristic qualities are the lank-hairedness, the tendency to 

 dolichocephaly and the strong hairiness of the body; as for the latter it must however be 

 mentioned that the Vedda are considered as scantily haired. 



It can hardly surprise that the Dravido-Australoïds are simply figuring hère as a leuko- 

 melanoderm mixture. The statements of the différent authorities are in this respect very 

 encouraging indeed. TOPINARD says in the "Revue d'Anthropologie" 1880 page 123: "it is 

 clear that the Australians might very well be the resuit of the cross between one race with 

 smooth hair from some other place and a really negro and authochtonous race", and further : 

 "if the Australians are Hindoes as regards their hair, they are Melanesians or if you will 

 New-Hebridians, New-Caledonian Negroes in every other respect". Moreover the same author 

 stated that the Australians are divided in two races, the one short and the other tall. 

 STANILAND Wake [226] refers to this, when observing: "The former is that, which would 



1) I thought it prudent to speak only about "inclined to dolicho- or brachycephaly" in the considered races. Neither 

 is dolichocephaly prevailing in the Papuans, nor is brachycephaly asserted for the Negritoes, but we can safely state a 

 tendency to those headforms.
