6 ANTHROPOLOGY. 
sometimes aquiline. Their diet consists principally of vegetables, the 
cocoanut, the taro, and the banana; when of animal food, it is cheep 
fish, sometimes of pigs and dogs, in the almost entire aiinse of larger 
mammals. The bow and arrow are rarely used as weapons, but in their 
stead the club and spear. Of Polynesians there may be distinguished two 
branches, those inhabiting the Pelew, Caroline, and Marianne Islands, 
and those found in the Navigator, Society, Friendly, and other islands 
of the Pacific, in the Marquesas, Easter Island, Sandwich Islands, New 
Zealand, &c. 
The eR le stock has at first sight strong affinities with the black 
races of mankind, the color of the skin being black, rather than brown or 
olive. The hair is crisp, curly, frizzly, and sometimes perhaps woolly; 
scarcely straight; color black. Stature rather small. It inhabits New 
Guinea, New Ireland, Solomon's Isles, the Louisiade, New Hebrides, New 
Caledonia, Australia, and Tasmania. Here the bow and arrow are the 
prominent weapons. In this area may be distinguished three principal 
branches: 1. The Papuan; 2. The Australian; 3. The Tasmanian. © 
D. THe HYPERBOREAN MONGOLID# are found along the coasts of the 
Arctic Ocean and the courses of the Yenisei1 and. Kolyma, thus occupying 
the most northern part of the inhabited world. They are constituted by 
the three divisions of Samoeids, Yenisevans, and Yukahire. 
K. The division of PENINSULAR MONGOLID& comprises tribes separated 
by considerable breaks geographically, and to some extent, apparently, 
ethnologically. Some he within the Arctic circle, others ae as. far 
south as 26° north latitude, while an equal difference is seen in their social 
development. They inhabit islands and peninsulas of northeastern Asia. 
The principal subdivisions are as follows: 1. The Koreans, on the peninsula 
of Korea; 2. The Japanese; 8. The Lu-Chu Islanders; 4. The Aino; 5. 
The Koriaks; 6. The Kamtschatkians, in the southern part of the peninsula 
of Kamtschatka. 
F. THe AMERICAN MonGouip#. These include two principal subdivi- 
sions: 1. The Hsquimaux, and 2. The Indians of North and South America, 
The former are not confined to North America, being found in Greenland 
and northeastern Asia; the latter constitute exclusively the aboriginal 
inhabitants of the continent. 
G. Tue Inp14N MoncGouip# include the inhabitants of Hindostan, Cash- 
mere, Ceylon, the Maldives and Laccadives, and-part of Beloochistan. 
2. ATLANTIDA. In the second great family of mankind we find, as the 
predominant characters, the maxillary profile projectile, the nose flattened, 
the forehead retreating, the cranium long, with the parietal diameter gene- 
rally narrow. ‘The eyes are rarely oblique. The skin is often jet. black, 
very rarely approaching a pure white. The hair is crisp, woolly, rarely 
straight, still more rarely light-colored. The Atlantidz are almost exclu- 
sively inhabitants of Africa, being found in Asia only on the African side. 
They may be divided into the Negro; the Kaffre; the Hottentot; the 
Nilotic; the Amazirgh; the Egyptian; and the Semitic Atlantide. 
A. THe Nre@ro ATLANTID# are distinguished by the black, soft, and
