"Indeed they are," the mayor replied.  "The blackfellow is, I believe, on the lowest rung of civilization.  He is unlike the negro, the Malay, the Mongolian, and the American Indian, in many ways.  If you could stay a few days, I would be glad to take you back in the bush and show you a few specimens in their native state.  They have a long skull, with a low, flat forehead, Their brows overhang deep-set, keen eyes, and they have a heavy lower jaw, with teeth as strong as a dog's. Their hair is generally wavy or curly, being usually auburn or black in color.  As a rule their faces are almost hidden by beards and whiskers, which they never comb and which, like the hair on top of their heads, are always in a beautiful tangle."
