tentots, and even than the Gonaquas ; they

but they appear to be more robuft, more

nor their cheeks thofe prominences which 
are fo difagreeable among the Hottentots ; 
neither have they thofe broad flat faces and 
thick lips of their neighbours, the negroes 
of Molambique. A round figure, a nofe net 
too flat, a broad forehead, and large eyes, 
give them an open and lively air ; and if 
prejudice can overlook the colour of the fkin, 
there are fome Caff^re women who, even 
when feated by an European lady, would be 
accounted extremely pretty. The filth and
