10. The present Fellahs are the lineal and least-mixed descendants of the ancient Egyptians; and the latter are collaterally represented by the Tuaricks, Kabyles, Siwahs, and other remains of the Libyan family of nations. 11. The modern Nubians, with a few exceptions, are not the descendants of the monumental Ethiopians, but a variously mixed race of Arabs and Negroes. 12. Whatever may have been the size of the _cartilaginous_ portion of the ear, the osseous structure conforms in every instance to the usual relative position. 13. The Teeth, differ in nothing from those of other Caucasian nations. 14. The Hair of the Egyptians resembled, in texture, that of the fairest Europeans of the present day. 15. The physical or organic characters which distinguish the several races of men, are as old as the oldest records of our species. * * * * * NOTE.—I have taken frequent occasion to quote the opinions of the late Professor Blumenbach, of Göttingen, whose name is inseparably connected with the science of Ethnography; but I have to regret that up to the present time I have not been able to procure either in this country or from Europe, the last two memoirs which embrace his views on Egyptian subjects, and especially the work entitled, “Specimen historiæ naturalis antique artis operibus illustratæ.” His views, however, as previously given to the world, have been repeatedly adverted to in these pages; and his matured and latest observations, as quoted by Dr. Wiseman, appear to have confirmed his original sentiments. “In 1808,” says Dr. Wiseman, “he more clearly expressed his opinion that the monuments prove the existence of _three distinct forms_ or physiognomies among the ancient inhabitants of Egypt. Three years later he entered more fully into this inquiry, and gave the monuments, which he thought bore him out in this hypothesis. The first of these _forms_ he considers to approach to the Negro model, the second to the Hindoo, the third to the Berber, or ordinary Egyptian head. (_Beträge zur Naturgeschichte_, 2 _ter Th._ 1811.) But I think an unprejudiced observer will not easily follow him so far. The first head has nothing in common with the _Black race_, but is only a coarser representation of the Egyptian type; the second is only its mythological or ideal purification.” _Lectures on the Connexion between Science and Revealed Religion, 2d edit. p. 100._
