We have already noticed how constantly
... children, produced from the cohabitation
/ Individuals of different races exhibit the
middle tinge, formed by the mixture of those
vi the Two parents. In the first generation,
the offspring of Europeans and Negroes are
called muattoes; of Europeans and Indians,
Mestlzes of Europeans and native Ameri-
cans, Mestizes, or middle tint, and mamelucks;
of negroes and Americans, Zambi, loss from
mixture, or mulattoes. All these have the
middle countenance and color, formed by the
union of those of both parents the latter be-
ing more or less tawny, or brown, with hardly
any redness of the cheek. The hair of the
mulatto is curled, in the other instances
straight, and almost invariably black, the
iris brown. In the second generation muat-
toes produce Casquos, a certain condition
an European and mulatto, Laceron, or
mestze. The hair and countenance of these
resemble those of the European, the skin has
a slight brown tint, and the cheeks degree
of redness, other parts of the body somewhat
blackish.
In these mixed races, a negro and mulatto
is called Critics, or Cabros, and European
and Indian Mestizes, or Castissos, an Europe
an and American, Quarteroons, or Mestizes ;
an European and Zambo, mulatto, two Fam
bos Cholos. Many Natural historians carry
these mixed breeds to quartcroons, octaoons,
or albinos, &C., &c.
But it is not credible that any trace of
mixed origin can remain in this case, accord
ing to the observation of the most respecta-
BILE eye-witnesses, concerning the third gen
Grafton. Besides the varieties of colors al
ready noticed, there is deviation sometimes
occurring in the negro, consisting of white
portions of skin scattered over the body, and
are called pio-bald negroes; produced from
black parents. The skin differs also in some
other properties besides its color. Travellers

and silky in the Carib, Otoheitan, and TUX.

ed from the common integuments, is connect
ed by many points of sympathy.
Hence spotted Africans, have different
colored hair. Every graduation of color, from
the fair to the black, is accompanied by its
correspondent attractions in the hair. This
is true not only of nations, but individuals. A
light complexion is accompanied with red OF
