ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESULTS. 429 



thiaks the signs of crossing so obvious that he concludes frankly to the British-Indian Negro. 

 He states finally: "Le nègre primitif de l'Inde était sousdolichocephale avec un indice voisin 

 de 75 ou jô. Sa taille . . . devait être petite, plus haute pourtant que celle des Andamanais" 

 [90]. Reading in Sarasin's Vedda-book [Part III, page 353] concerning the original tribes in 

 the mointains of South-India, that: "ail dièse Vôlker ùbereinstimmen in der Kleinheit des 

 Korperbaues, der dunkel- oder trùbbraunen Hautfarbe, dem welligen zuweilen leicht sich 

 kràuselden Kopfhaar, dem spàrlichen Bartwuchs und den tief eingesattelten, an den Flugeln 

 breiten Nase" then we meet for the third time with a similar élément. One is inclined to 

 believe the wavy hair of the Dravido-Australians to be not an absolutely reigning, but only 

 a strongly dominating quality of this anthropological stratum. We may oppose hère as a 

 dominating Négritie quality the form of the nose, which is especially in the Australians 

 very characteristic. VlRCHOW [Z. f. Ethn. 1883] says that: "die Besonderheit der Australischen 

 Physionomie in den Bildung der Nase liegt"; Spencer and GlLLEN [204] state : "A very 

 characteristic feature of the Australian aborigine is the shape of the nose. The root is very 

 much depressed, the supra-orbital ridges being always strongly marked, but still more prominent 

 is the great proportionate width of the nose" (hère I hâve not in vievv the supra-orbital ridges 

 that seems to me to be more a Caucasie than a Négritie peculiarity). 



On the other side of the circle we find the Malay, roughly analysed in their anthro- 

 pological qualities. The Malay hâve a clearly outspoken Mongolie character, but next to that 

 the face is often showing another élément that is generally considered as to be of Caucasian 

 origin. Moreover, a primitive élément in the face is not totally eclipsed. 



The Indonesians, by which I understand the numerous tribes of the Dutch-Indies that 

 cannot be named Malayan ') or Papuan, show the Mongolian character in a much smaller 

 degree. In stead of straight hair the wavy and curly hair cornes more to the front; KLEIWEG 

 DE Zwaan even noted two cases of crisp hair among 211 men of Nias. Brachycephaly 

 decreases and often is dolichocephaly the prevailing headform. As for the face there is besides 

 the Mongolian élément a well-cut non-Mongolian — reminding the Caucasie- — as well as a 

 coarse primitive élément — reminding the Négritie face — . The colour of skin must be called 

 brown, yet it is sometimes fairly dark. The Indonesians are decidedly not hairy and generally 

 not tall, though slenderly built people are not seldom seen. As they hâve thèse two qualities 

 in common with the Negritoes as well as with the Mongolians I drew the blue as well as the 

 yellow lines (the same applies to brachycephaly). 



Finally we hâve to consider the Polynesians. Their dominating Arian character is 

 repeatedly brought to the front. In stature, hairform and hairiness they correspond fairly well 

 with the Caucasians. And even if the tendency to dolichocephaly is not dominating, it is not 

 foreign to the race either 2 ). Ten Kate, a much travelled Dutch anthropologist, did not find 

 in Polynesia a homogeneous index, but ail kinds of skulls [77]- In colour of skin they are 



1) The Malay proper, in gênerai more civilised than the Indonesians, inhabit principally the Malay Peninsula, 

 Sumatra and Java, though they also occur on many of the other Sunda-Islands. Among the Dyak of Bornéo f. e. there 

 are Malay as well as Indonesian tribes (Nieuwenhuis). To the Indonesians also the name Pre- or Proto-Malayans is applied. 



2) It must not be forgotten that among the Caucasians there can only be spoken of "inclined to dolichocephaly". 

 With regard to this fact I want to recall to mind, how Thurston ascribes the higher cephalic index to the more civilised, 

 the lower index to the jungle-tribes of the Decan, so contrary to what we would expect. (see also pg. 428).
