Ihey were men. and Mongols. he thinks, when
tney nrst appeared in this country. The geo
graphical argument is not considered. The urob-
able route is not pointed out Mr Lydekker
deals chiefly with resembla such as are en-
pIoyed IN tracing relationships between species
OF lower animals. The points Of similarity which
ne notes are complexion, straight coarse, black
halr' an almost total absence Of beard and prom
Inent cheek bones Still. while others have tried
to make it appear that the red man is really vel
low Mr.. Lydel6ker frankly admits that this is
not So and that the complexion OF the Mongol is
not the same as that of the American Indian.
Inc English paleOntoIogist euumerat tes some
OF the other differences between the two races.

eyes do not slant like the Chinaman's In some
Indian tribes conspicuous brow ridges are found
above the eyes. The American generally has

have lost the slant eye is cited TO show how
time might have worked a change in this re-
spect in the American Indian. However this
feature appears in some Of the Eskimos who
are credited with a remote connection with the
parental AsatiC stock. What IS perhaps the
most radical difference is found in the forms of
the heads Of the races compared The Eskinos
and some Of the eastern tribes Of North Amer
lea possess rather long heads, the Mongols have
short ones, and those of the Western and South
ern Indians are intermediate between the two.
A portion Of Mr.. Lydekker's article is devoted
TO minor differences in physical form Ian

manifest themselves in the course of centuries
Iuasmuch as the language Of the conqueror

This is equally true OF ceremonies and indus

subdivides the aborigines Of the continent into
North. Central and South Americans and Pat
I agonians. The North Americans are still
further subdivided but al the present time the

Latives.
