 of the upper and lower limbs with each other is 70 (the latter

 in tko proportions of the limbs of the Knbus to those of the 

 anthropoid apes, and indicates that the length of the upper 

 limb is considerably greater in proportion than that of the 

 lower as compared to what obtains in Europeans, In the 

 Negro and the Andamanese, on the other hand, the npper 

 limb is proportionately to the lower shorter than in Europeans.

 them, though I think sufficient to answer one question which 

 presents itself to us for solution, namely, as to what mee the 

 Kubus are allied— whether they possess Negrito or Malayan 

 t affinities. The character of the hair, the form of the nose, the 

 various characters of the skull, and the proportion of the limb-
