Note 150 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Mr. Bates remarks (‘The Naturalist on the Amazons,’ 1863, vol. ii. p. 159), with respect to the Indians of the same S. American tribe, “no two of them were at all similar in the shape of the head; one man had an oval visage with fine features, and another was quite Mongolian in breadth and prominence of cheek, spread of nostrils, and obliquity of eyes.”
