Note 291 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
See the interesting letter by Mr. T. A. Murray, in the ‘Anthropolog. Review,’ April, 1868, p. liii. In this letter Count Strzelecki’s statement, that Australian women who have borne children to a white man are afterwards sterile with their own race, is disproved. M. A. de Quatrefages has also collected (‘Revue des Cours Scientifiques,’ March, 1869, p. 239) much evidence that Australians and Europeans are not sterile when crossed.
