has an ebony tone of colour in all, only in the case of 

 Ukku Banda it had a brownish appearance, was at the same 

 time slightly curly, whilst it otherwise looked nattish, and 

 at the most somewhat wavy towards the points. With 

 Jimmy (Sinni) it was quite black. The careful attention 

 paid to the hair in the way of washing, combing, and oiling, 

 contributes not a little towards increasing the favourable 

 impression made by it. 



Hair was also richly developed on the upper portions of 

 the body. This was especially true of the eyebrows and the 

 eyelids, whilst the beard in the case of the men was not 

 thick, and in several was somewhat curly. 



On the other hand, the older men had hair richly de- 

 veloped on the body, a fact which the Paris Commission 

 had also noted. It said : " The rest of the body was 

 remarkably covered with hair, the breast and the hollow of 

 the spine in particular presented, in the case of the oldest 

 men, true tufts of hair somewhat curly and several centi- 

 metres long." 



I give here shortly my notes of each person examined : — 



1. Liisa Nona : Hair strong, black, quite smooth, only 

 at the ends somewhat wavy, slung in a knot behind ; eye- 

 brows strong ; eyelashes long and thick. 



2. Inga Nona : Hair quite black and smooth ; only a few 

 wavy " love locks " before the ears. The hair descends far 

 on the brow, so that a large portion of it (brow) appears 

 black through short hairs. There is a soup9on of a moustache 

 on the upper lip. 



3. Andre Appu : Hair quite black, 30 cm. long, and 

 throughout slightly waved ; eyebrows strong, quite black, and 

 shining ; eyelashes long and thick ; beard on chin and lips 

 more richly developed ; hair somewhat wavy. 



4. Girigoris Appu : Hair long and black, stretched back 

 over the head and held by a comb, gathered up in a knot 

 behind ; moustache and beard on chin somewhat sparse and 

 wavy.
