iNHABI'tiNG PART OF SOUTHEUN AFRICA, 211 
Nile, and thence to Asia, where we suppose all nations to 
have originated. 
Var. Ethiop. 
NEORd. 
Colour generally very dark. 
Hair black, and, as it is called, wool- 
ly- 
Head narrow, compressed on the 
sides. 
Forehead arched. 
Malar bones prominent ; eyes full. 
Nose thick, and little distinct from 
the lips. 
Upper jaws elongated forwards. 
The superior incisors obliquely pro- 
jecting. 
Excessive fulness of the lips. 
Retreating chin. 
Many bandy-legged. A certain diffi- 
culty in maintaining the upright 
position ; the knees slightly bent, 
and the heels constantly tending 
to quit the ground. The gastroc- 
nemii muscles placed too near the 
ham. 
Kaffre, including Temboo, Briquas, 
Boshuanas, Red KafFres, &c. &c. 
Of a brown colour ; some perfectly 
black. 
Hair uniformly black, crisp, and 
woolly, arid scattered in small tufts 
over the scalp. 
Cranium narrow, elongated, resem- 
bling in outline the female Euro- 
pean *. 
Forehead differing but little from the 
Negro, that is, rather retreating ; 
very narrow, and not high. 
As in the Negro. 
In the greater number nearly as in 
the Negro ; some have less of the 
Ethiopian physiognomy. 
The osseous development of the up- 
per jaw nearly as great as in the 
Negro. 
Hardly the case in the Kaffre. 
Nearly as in the Negro. 
Not so much so as in the Negro. 
Never the case in the Kaffre. His 
lower extremities are finely propor- 
tioned, and frequently of Herculean 
strength; the upper extremities 
weak and disproportiohed ; whilst 
the lower limbs, pelvis, and loins, 
are superior even to the European. 
* Compare the accompanying sketch of the Kaffre cranium (Plate VII.) 
drawn from one in my possession, with a cranium of the Caucasian variety.
