6o TROPICAL RACES 



The ADglo-Saxon in North America did not fuse with the Amerind, who 

 to-day is rapidly approaching extinction. 



The negro migration was compulsory, as the negroes were introduced as 

 slaves, but it suited the race, which is rapidly increasing in numbers. The 

 MongoUc migration is at present very smaJl, and of quite recent date. 



Classification. — The Amerinds may be classified for our purposes 

 into those belonging to the Northern Section, to the Central Section, 

 and to the Southern Section of America, but only the two last need 

 concern us here. 



The Central Section is formed from Mexico and Central America 

 as far south as the northern boundary of Costa Rica. It contains 

 the Opata-Pima linguistic family, composed of the Pimas and 

 Papajos of the Gila Valley, where the Gila Monster {Heloderma 

 suspectuM Cope 1869) lives, the Capitas, Coras, Yumas, and Tora- 

 humeras, though these last are mixed with Caucasic blood. The 

 Nahua or Aztecs come next, and include the Aztecs proper, the 

 Pipils of Guatemala, the Niquirans, and the Chichimecs. 



The Huaxtecan group, often called the Maya-Quiche group, in- 

 cludes the Huaxtecs of Tamaulifas and Vera Cruz, the Mayas of 

 Yucatan, the Choulats of Mexico, the Mopans of Northern Guate- 

 mala, the Quiche farther south in Guatemala, the Pocomans around 

 the city of Guatemala. The Mayas proper are divided into the 

 Itzas and the Lacandons. The Chortegans include the Chorti 

 living around the ruined city of Copan as well as the Bribri and 

 others. 



In the vSouthern Section are the nations which we have suffi- 

 ciently described above— viz., the Chibchas, Quichuas, Chimus, 

 Calchecaquis, and Incas, all of whom were civilized, and the 

 Arawak, Tapuya, Carib, and Tupi peoples, who were far more 

 primitive and savage, as well as the Pampeans and Fuegians, which 

 are not tropical races.
