Thus the Mandingoes are much the tallest of these four tribes, 
but with lesser dimensions of chest, and a comparatively greater 
length of lower extremities. The general proportions of the 
head, are nearly alike in all, as far as can be judged from 
measurements, taken in the living subject, laterally from one 
meatus auditorius oxternus to the other, and lengthways from 
the occipital protuberance to the nasal spine. As regards the 
facial angle, the Edeeyahs may be considered to hold the highest 
position; secondly, the Mandingoes; thirdly, the Krus; and 
lastly, the Fishmcn. 
We regret, that, in consequence of the superstitious fears of 
the other tribes, we were unable to procure their admeasure- 
ments.
