3) Barrow's China p. 183—185* The Tatars — by
being descended from the same stock, and by a great
resemblance of features are scarcely distinguishable
from them in their external appearance. The small
eye elliptical at the end next to the nose is a predominating
feature in the cast of both the Tatar
and de Chinese countenance, and they have botli
the same high chekbones, and pointed chins, which
— gives to the head the shape of an inverted „cone.
— The Malay features however prevail in most; a
small black or dark brown eye, a short founded nose,
generally a little flattened, lips considerable thickes,
than in Europeans, and black hair are universal,

To judge from the external appearance that is to say,
from shape, size and feature, there is one very extensive
nation, that inhabits the east of Asia. It includes
the eastern and western Tatars of the Chinese
authors, the Calmucs, the Chinese, the Jappanese,
the Malays, and other tribps inhabiting, what is called
the peninsula of India beyond the Ganges, and
the Islands to the south and east of this, as far at
least as New Guinea. . . . . This nation may be distinguished
by a short, squat robust fleshy stature,
pnd by features highly different from those of an Eq*

ropean. The face is somewhat in shape of a lozenge;
the forehead and chin being sharpened, whilst at the
check — hones it is very broad : unlefs this be what
is meant b y the conical head of the Chinese, i confess
mysel at a loss to understand what it is. The
eye—$ brows or superciliary ridges in this nation protect
very little, and thé eyes are very narrow» and
placed rather obliquely in the head, the external
angles being the highest. The nose is very small,'
(but! has not, like that of the negro, the appearance
of hafing been flattened ; and the apertures of the
nostrils, which in the European are linear, and parallel,
in them are nearly circular and divergent;
for the septum narium being much thickest towards
the faGe, places them entirely out of the parallel line.
The mouths of this nation are in general well
shaped ; tl^eir hair is Harsh, lank and black. Those
that live even in the warmest climats de not obtain
the deep hue of the negro or Hindu; nor do such,
of them, as live in coldest countries acquire the
clear-bloom of the European. Ucber fete berporfte*
