Under this heading are included all the dark-skinned negroes, with black
frizzly hair, long heads (_i.e._, whose breadth is less than four-fifths of
its length), moderately broad faces, flat nasal bones, prominent legs,
thick everted lips, protruding jaws, and long fore-arms. To this race
belong (1) the Negroes, inhabiting Central Africa, of which there are
numerous tribes: (_a_) the yellowish-brown Hottentots of the South African
plains, and (_b_) the dwarfed straight-faced Bushmen, living outcast among
the mountains and rocks, remarkable for their tufted hair, their great
fatty buttocks, and the peculiar "click" in their speech; (2) the
_Negrillos_, of Central and West Africa, with short heads (_i.e._, whose
breadth is greater than four-fifths of its length); (3) the _Melanesians_,
composed of the Papuans of New Guinea, New Caledonia, and the Solomon
Islands, with strong supra-orbital ridges, and a narrow and prominent nose:
the "hyper-typical" mountaineers of Fiji, the Tasmanians, and the
Australians, especially of the northern portion of that continent, all
belong to this race; (4) the round-headed _Negritos_ of the Andamans, the
Philippines, and the Malay Archipelago.
