Cuvier, on account of their unmistakable conformity, appears inclined to 

 include the American stocks in the Mongolian race. These stocks may bo 

 reduced to the three following : 



1. Columhiaii Stock. Inhabitants of the plains from the river St. Law- 

 rence to the eastern coast of Mexico, the Antilles, Terra Firma, Guiana, the 

 district of Cumana, and the Canada Indians, the natives of Y^ucatan, Hondu- 

 ras, the Caribbee Islands, (fcc. 



2. American StocJ:. Inhabitants of the plains on the Upper Oronoco, on 

 the River Amazon, of Brazil, Paraguay, and of the interior portions of 

 Chili. 



3. Patagonian Stock. Natives of Patagonia. 



Australia, to which besides New Holland, the whole Indian Archipelago 

 or Polynesia, and the Islands of the South Sea or Oceanica belong, 

 possesses no peculiar human population ; all these races are here asso- 

 ciated. To the Australian Caucasians, belong the Malays in the Indian 

 Archipelago, the inhabitants of the Marian, Caroline, Friendly, and Society 

 Islands, those of New Zealand, of the Pelew, Sandw^ich, Marquesas Islands, 

 (fee. The Australian Mongolians likewise inhabit the Carolines, the Nico- 

 bars, and New Guinea. Finally, . to the Australian Negroes belong the 

 New Hollanders, Alfureses, the Endamenians in New Guinea, and the 

 Papuans. 



PL 1 gives a view of the Australian races, while upon the same plate 

 different stocks of all three races are represented. At Jig. 1 we perceive a 

 Central European in the costume of the higher classes, and of the true 

 Gothic (Teutonic) stock, which manifests itself in its purity in the blue eyes, 

 light bair, white complexion faintly tinged with red, and tall stature, Avith the 

 dress fitting, for the most part, close to the body. 



Fig. 2. A Greek, in the Palian dress, belonging to the Pelasgian stock. 

 The skull of the Greeks, who constitute the type of the last named race, is 

 very well developed ; the forehead rises in a bold arch ; and the arch of the 

 anterior portion of the skull, when seen from above, entirely conceals the 

 face, so that the flicial angle is one of almost 90 degrees. The face is 

 small, with a rounded contour ; and all the parts are in beautiful harmony 

 with each other. The hair of the Greeks is dark and smooth ; the com- 

 plexion white, more or less tinged with olive, or dull brown ; the eyes are 

 large, overshadowed by the eyebrows, which more resemble a cross-line
