“By saying that the Egyptians, _for the most part_, are of a brownish or somewhat brown colour, and of a tanned and blackened hue, the writer shows that this was not the case equally, at least, with all of them; and the expression _subfusculi_ and _atrati_ are very different from _nigri_ or _atri_.”—PRICHARD, Researches, II., p. 232. “Tra le specie d’uomini non affatto neri di pelle, e di fattezze diversi da quelli che noi siam soliti chiamare Africani, furono gli antichi Egizi: e quando Erodoto afferma che i Colchi erano una colonia d’Egitto, perché dessi pure avevano nero colore, non vuolsi già intende rigorosamente di quel colore, che proprio è dei Neri; ma tale ci lo chiama per rispetto al colore dei Bianchi e dei Greci stessi; e perché veramente l’incarnato degli Egiziani al nero in qualche modo si avvicinava. Noi lo diremmo con più giustezza color fosco; e questo epiteto diedero anche i Latini agli abitanti dell’Egitto, come si legge in Properzio: “An tibi non satis est _fuscis_ Egyptus alumnis?””—ROSELLINI, Mon. Civ., II., p. 167. Footnote 23: Lectures on the connexion between Science and Revealed Religion, p. 102, 2d edit. These remarks will also serve to explain why Aristotle has placed the Egyptians and Negroes in the same national category; which is not more surprising than his referring the Thracians to the Mongolian race, and attributing to them a _red_ complexion. Footnote 24: The _longitudinal diameter_ is measured from the most prominent part of the os frontis, between the superciliary ridges, to the extreme end of the occiput. The _parietal diameter_ is measured between the most distant points of the parietal bones, which are, for the most part, the protuberances of these bones. Footnote 25: I have been engaged for several years past in obtaining and arranging a series of measurements of the nature here indicated, under the title of Craniometrical Tables; but it will be readily conceived that the difficulty of procuring the requisite materials, renders the progress of such an undertaking extremely slow and uncertain. Footnote 26: I have reason to believe that this cranium, which I obtained separate from the rest of the mummy, belonged to another Egyptian skeleton subsequently procured from the same source.
