“ Voilà les Arabes-Bedouins. * * * * We have enlarged somewhat in detail
on this race, because, in the midst of this hybrid population of Syria, — of this
confused mixture of Greeks, Jews, Turks, Barbaresques, Armenians, Franks,
[i. e. Europeans], Maronites, Druzes, and Moghrabees—-it is the only people
that offers a special and homogeneous character, the only one whose ethnography
can be attached to primitive traditions, and to the history of the first
ages” ( T a y l o r & R e y b a u d , La Syrie, VÉgypte, la Palestine, et la Judée, Paris,

AFRICAN REALM.
(Nos. 19, 20, 21, 23, 24.)
If “ polyglotta” was so felicitously applied to the Asiatic world by Klaproth, and
equally-well since [supra, Chapter I, p. 61.] to the African by Koelle, in regard to the
languages spoken over more than half the terrestrial superficies of ow globe, another
esignation, that of “ multicolor”— might, -with propriety, be given to the human aborigines
of that African continent, wherein, betwixt the Tropic of Cancer and that of Capricorn,
the human skin possesses more Bhades and hues—totally independent of any imagined
climatologie influences — than in any given area within the rest of this earth. To the evidences
of this fact (new to general readers, who fancy that a woolly-headed “ negro” must
necessarily be black) accumulated, for southern Africa in Prichard’s last volume, and for
western m a pamphlet before cited (supra, Chap. Ill, p.224; Chap. V,p.551),—whilst in the
Parisian galerie anthropologique abundant colored casts, paintings, and photographs, illustrate
all three regions—the magnificent plastic collection of M. de Frobervifle (supra p. 608)
will, when published, furnish for eastern Africa singularly unanticipated corroborations.
On the Mozambique coasts alone, amid the nations grouped together, by this minutely-
accurate observer, under the designation “ Ostro-Negro” — amid whom the M'kuas are the
most polychrome—nature’s palette has supplied pigments of such innumerable tints that,
only Sixty colored casts have yielded 4 distinct nigritian types, subdivided into about 31
“ variétés.” In our Ethnographic Tableau, Nos. 27 and 28 represent two of these tints-
and m our Monkey-chart, figs. F, C, and D, indicate three more.
