Skin of a copper colour; hair black, stiff, straight, and sparing.

Forehead short; cheek-bones broad, but more arched and rounded than in the

Mongolian variety; the orbits generally deep; the forehead and vertex

frequently deformed by art; cranium usually light. The face broad, with

prominent cheeks, not flattened, but with every part distinctly marked if
