in the fouthern provinces of China the fhade of 
olive deepens, or grows darker; particularly in 
Japan. 
The fubjedts of the Grand Mogul are generally 
of the fame dark complexion, although the Empe- 
ror’s title fignifies white. In Camhaye they are 
grayifh, like cinders. On the coaft of Coromandel 
a more tawny call appears ; and on the Malabar 
coaft a greater mixture of black is obferved. 
The Pevfians in the northern provinces are pretty 
fair ; but their complexions darken to the fouth- 
ward in the higheft degree. 
To the foLithward of Japan there is a clufter of 
iftands, likewife inhabited by darkifti people; but 
in Java and the Moluccas they refemble a colony 
fettled in thofe parts, called Malays^ who are of a 
blackifh red, or purple colour. 
In the ifland of Formofa that darkifti teint bor- 
ders on black. 
In the ifle of Ceylon the blackifti fhade is not fo 
deep as on the coaft of Malabar. In the Maldivas 
the olive caft is predominant, blackening to the 
fouthward. 
Mixtures of all thefe colours charadlerize Ota- 
heite, and the other new-difcovered countries, 
where the immortal Cook^ La Peroufe, and other 
mariners of two rival nations, difplayed their intre- 
pid fpirit.
