Unfortunately, the plates in R ichard Schomburgk (Reisen in British Guiana,
Leipzig, fol. 1885; T, p. 429; II; p. 42) aire uncolored; whilst “ Essetamaissu
Wapisiana” is Europeanized. There are, however, excellent descriptions of
the colors, &c., in R qbt. H. Schomburgk’s beautiful work (Twelve Views in
British Guiana, fol., 1841, pp. 30-1).

Denis, Librarian of the “ Bibliothèque de St. Géneviève,” who'has critically
summed up the whole of these authorities in his various publications — may,
perhaps,; arrest the attention of some reader, before he voluntarily concedes
that monogenistic views on human “ species” are things yet scientifically established.

P OLYNES IAN REALM.
(Nos, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42.)
“ Océanie,-” in Dumont d’Urville’s ethnic map ( Voyage de la Corvette VAstrolabe, 1826-9;
Paris, folio Atlas, 1833 :— 8vq Text, II, pp. 610-30), is luminously depicted in four colors,
viz: Malaisie in blue, Micronésie, in green, Mélanésie in yellow, and Polynésie in pink.
Only the three last named subdivisions comprehend the human fauna of our “Polynesian”
R ealm.
What their respective contrasts are, is, iii our Tableau, inadequatëly illustrated in one
line of portraits. What the greatest of modern circumnavigator’s opinions were, on the
types of mankind so thoroughly studied by himself, may be gathered from three paragraphs.
“ It is now-a-days almost averred that the Alfourous of Timor) of Ceram and Bourou •
the Negritos del monte, or A etas, of Mindanao; the Indio s of the Philippines;1 the Ygolotes
of Luzon ; the Negrillos of Borneo ; the blacks of Formosa, of the Andamans, of Sumatra,

of Malacca, and those of Cochin-China, called Mays or Kemoys,'— appertain to this same
primitive race of Melanesians [black-islanders] who must have been the first occupiers of
Oceania.
“ We do not. hesitate to believe that the P olynesians arrived from the west and even
from Asia [an ‘ opinion ’] ; but we do not at all believe that they are the descendants of the
present Hindoos. They had probably a common origin with them; but the two nations
had been already separated for a long time, when one of them went to people Oceania.
“ The same holds good as regards tije consequences which different voyagers have drawn
from the relations observed between the P olynesians and the Malays. Without any doubt,
these two nations had of yore some intercourse. Lengthened studies have caused us to
discover 'about 60 words which are evidently common between the two tongues; and that
is sufficient to attest some ancient communications. But, there is too much difference in
the physiological ‘ rapports’ for one to be able to suppose that P olynesians could be
merely a Malayan colony.”

It should be remembered that the contracted skin, in tatooed New Zealand
faces, proceeds1 from the cicatrices accruing from such process.
No. 38. — SAMOA-ISLANDER.
[“ Man of the Samoan Islands :” — Prichard, op. cit., II, Pl. XXVIII, p. 451.]

recent and the.best accounts of the commingling of different blôod in the western
Pacific; since those of Quoy and Gaimakd (Zoologie, “ Astrolabe,” 1830, I
p p . 15-57), and o f L esson and Garnot (Zoologie, “ Coquille;” Paris 1826 L

See Nott’s Chapter IV (supra, note 29) for the fact that these fair Islanders
of the true Maori race cannot acclimate themselves on an adjacent island of
the same Archipelago, whereon the aboriginal Blacks flourish.
No. 40. — VANIK0R0-ISLANDER.
[“ Maingho de Manévé — D ’U r v il l e , op. cit., PI. 176, V, p. 156],
On this island, in 1788, were wrecked two French frigates, and, amidst these
people, with all the gallant Frenchmen, perished L a P ékoüse— whose immortal
name ennobles this archipelago. The accounts of Captain Dillon, and of
Dumont d’Urville—who himself, after braving unharmed the perils of the sea in
three voyages round the world, was burnt np in a rail-oar at Meudon, together
with his wife and son — furnish all particulars.
