A CURIOUS CONTRIBUTION TO
THE GREAT .I.XLIIBITION OF 1851.
" Isaac Ironside" writes thus to a Sheffield paper :
" The public have not generally ben made ac-
quainted with the discovery of a race of men in the
interior of Africa, having tails. Some months ago
Colonel du Couret, who had already penetrated far
into Africa, was about to set out on a new and exten-
sive exploration of five years, under the special aus-
pices of the French Government, and at the charge of
the Treasury. The it! mister of Public Instruction asked
of the Academy of Sciences some instruction for him,
which was read at one of the sittings. At the game tame
the Colonel addressed to the Academy a notice oi the
Ghilanes inhabiting the interior of Attic?, rnd known
among the neighbouring tribes as having toils. The
report is too long to be inserted here ; an extract hill
suffice :—` I inhabited Mecca in 1842; says Colonel du
Couret; and, being often at the house of an Emir with
whom I was intimate, I spoke to him c f the Ghilane
race, and told him how much the Europeans doubted
of the existence of men with tails, the vertebral co-
lumn elongated externally. In order to convince me
of the reality of the species, the Emir ordered before
me one of his slaves, called Bellal, who was about 30
years old, who had a tail, and who belonged to
this tribe. On surveying this man, I was thoroughly
convinced. He spoke Arabic well, and appeared
rather intelligent. He told me that in his country,
far beyond the Sennaar, they spoke a different lan-
guage ; that of his compatriots, whom he estimated
at 30,000 or 40,000, some worshipped the sun, and
moon, and stars ; others the serpent, and the sources
of an immense river, in which they immolated their
victims (probably the sources of the Nile) ; that they
ate with delight raw ilesh, as bloody as possible, and
that they loved human flesh above all things. This
Ghilane had become a devout Mussulman, and had
lived 15 years in the Holy City. . After describing
the race of Ghilanes, the Colonel gives the following
description of Bellal :—‘ Ile was thin and dry, but
nervous and strong. His skin was black-bronzed,
shining, and soft to the touch like velvet. His feet
were long and flat ' • his arms and legs appeared feeble,
but well supplied with muscles. his ribs could
easily be counted. His face was repulsively ugly ; his
mouth was enormous, his lips thick, his teeth strong,
sharp, and very white; his nose broad and flat, his
ceaedrsinlgong ,

hair

his forehead
r y woollyo r w and
thick,
hl
ckbut very
t re
never-
theless curly. He had no beard, and his body was not
hairy. He was very active and hardy. His height
was about five feet. His tail was more than three
inches long, and almost as flexible as that of a
monkey. His disposition, setting aside the oddity of
his tastes and habits, was good, and his fidelity was
above all praise.' My object in introducing these
facts is to suggest the propriety of the French Go-
vernment being asked to .produce a male and female
Ghilane and to tend them to the exhibition. They
would produce a sensation not to be produc-A by
anything else. Lord Monheddo's theory would be
discussed by the learned of all countries."
