In an absolute sense, the terms ' white and black,' are both inappli- 

 cable to any shade of the human complexion ; but they are sanctioned 

 by general usage, and there may be some convenience in retaining 

 the above four general divisions. Two of the races may therefore be 

 designated as white, three as brown, four as blackish-brown, and two 

 as black.
