skILLFUL AFRICAN PYGMIEs.

The heads of the Pygmies were of
the brachycephalic order, says Sam
uel P. Werner in the August Atlantic.
The mean cranial index of the skull
OF eight adult males was eighty-one
degrees. The nose was small, but
more acquiline than that OF the real
Negro. The mouth was large. and
the chin usually receding. The hair
was OF lighter color-almost a shade
OF brown-and was kindly and woolly.
The hands and feet of the Pygmies
were small and well shaped. the
hands in particular being delicately
formed. In proportion to their size.
the strength of the Pygmies far ex-
ceeded that OF all the other Africans.
Their powers Of endurance on the
march or in the chase were phenom-
email. Fifty miles day was an ordi-
nary march for them, and they were
almost as much at home in the trees
as the monkeys themselves. The
senses of the Pygmies were unusually
acute. At quite distance. they could
distinguish the chameleon from the
foliage in which it was hidden. al
though the color of the little animal
conceded with that of its hiding
place. Much of their quarry was dis
covered through the powers of the
nose, and it is no exaggeration to saw
that the Pygmy's sense of smell was
as keen as that of his dog. They we're
such shots with the bow that have
seen one send an arrow through a rat
at twenty yards, while it was running
across the village.
