the average of Europeans, strongly built and well formed; some
had well-marked features * * *. The women, were generally short,
the visages of the younger ones tolerably good but * * * the
very reverse was the case with the dames of more advanced age.

promised intelligence and good nature. Although both sexes had in
most instances the round flat face of the Mongolian cast, a few
individuals possessed well-defined, though petite features, and all
had fine eyes.
