them into any other race. The Es-

enjoying climate milder than that

separated so widely and so distinctly.

1t has been remarked that man
cannot live and enjoy good health for
any great length of time outside of
the geological realm in which lac was
created. 1 viii now add that this
matter is not controlled by parallels
of latitude or longitude, nor by is
othermal lines. Button spoke OF cen
ters of creation, and seemed, although
not very pointedly, to fix continents
or large bodies OF land as these CEN
ters. But the" centers of creation, ("
as ethnologists seem to understand
is the term, is the locolity or zoolog-
ical realm in which men were Great
ed, and to which the different races
are respectively indigenous.
Ethnologists hold on this subject
as follows:
/. That .he earth is naturally di-
vided into geological realms, and that
each realm possesses not only a cline
but an animal and vegetable kingdom
peculiarly us own.
9. That the animals of each realm
originated in that lealm, and that
there is no consanguinity with the
animals, of realms, so to speak, other
than that one where they were origi-
nally created.
3. That each realm has a group of
human races, which, though not iden-
teal with each other in either phys
ical structure or intellectual organ
ism, are nevertheless clos-iy allied,
one with the other. in many general
appearances; but they are totally
and radically unlike and different
from the types belonging to any 9TH
geological realm. Such as, for illus
tration, the white races of Europe
and the Mongols of Asia.
4 The types of man which belong
to these realms ante-date by more
than one hundred thousand years all
human records, and probably all
Iconographic and Monumental repre-
sentations; but they originated where
they now live.
3. These types of men which be-
long to different and distant realms
are separated by specific differences
both in structure and intellect, and
these differences are as plainly mark
ed as are the characteristics which
distinguish the horse and the OK.
