projection of the cheek bono* ; and, on ibe whole, a general cant 

 of countenance decidedly retiring from that of «hc Guinea negro 

 on the one side, ar.d the MoneoJ on the other, and which would 

 perhaps he heat described physiologically as Indo- African.* It w 

 intermediate between the S. Indian and the n^jjio ty pe, and if the 

 spiral hair were generally absent, as it is in some tribe*, it would 

 approach the former much more nearly than the latter. Tho 

 Indian character of many of the E. African races and some of 

 the middle and westerly* ones, such as the Fulata, Ashantees t 

 Mandingos, and Yarribas, has been frequently remarked, and the 

 tame character is Been in many of the varieties of the Papuas of 

 New Guinea and Torres Strait. Even the ample Iodo-Semilic 

 beard, never found in the S. E. Asiatics, appears amongst the 

 Australians, die wgroes of Tanna, Mallicolla, Hotuma, and, less 

 i ni ii-eably, amongst some of the western Papnas. Several of the 

 Madagascar tribes have tho spiral hair ana other Hiaracteristics « 

 of this physical type, and the decided resemblance between them 

 and varieties of Papuas found from New Guinea to New Ireland, 

 has been strongly insisted on by Lesson, who examined both. 

 There are probably few varieties of the Ea?t A frican types, from 

 those of the Danukil on the Red Sea to those of the Kafir and 

 Konrjfo tribes in the south, to which near approximations might 

 not be found in the Eastern islands. On the other hand, it must 

 be remembered that amongst the Papua tribes there are varieties 

 leaning to the S. E. Asian type, while preserving some decided 

 African characteristics. Although belonging more to the mental 

 part of the subject, I mu«t add here that the great difference 

 between the generally direct, and oft*>n rapid and demonstrative, 

 Indo- African temperament of the Papuan, and the slow, rericenem, 

 phlegmatic Tibelo-Siaraese temparament of the later Indonesian, 

 is strongly marked in the expression of the face in most of the 

 Papuanesians, and indeed is often even more striking than the 

 difference in features. Even the more liwlv eastern continental 

 tribes, such as the Anamese, want the Gallic demonstrativeness and 

 the abrupt and independent air of the Papuas, and in this respect 

 rather resemble the Tibeto-Indiaiw, Polynesians and Micronesians.f 

 Customs fic. A common barbarity in habits, and even a similarity 

 in some specific ones, does not prove a connection or identity
