[296] Thus he finds (_L'Anthropologie_, 1896, p. 153) a presumably Negrillo skull from the Babinga district, Middle Sangha river, to be distinctly long-headed (73.2) with, for this race, the enormous cranial capacity of about 1440 c.c. Cf. the Akka measured by Sir W. Flower (1372 c.c.), and his Andamanese (1128), the highest hitherto known being 1200 (Virchow). [297] _Through Unknown African Countries_, etc., 1897. [298] _Bul. Soc.

Dr Wolf connects all these Negrillo peoples with the Bushmen south of the Zambesi. [302] One of the Mambute brought to England by Col. Harrison in 1906 measured just over 3-1/2 feet. [303] See A. C. Haddon, Art. "Negrillos and Negritos," _Ency. of Religion and Ethics_, 1917. [304] "It would seem as if the earliest known race of man inhabiting what is now British Central Africa was akin to the Bushman-Hottentot type of Negro. Rounded stones with a hole through the centre, similar to those which are used by the Bushmen in the south for weighting their digging-sticks, have been found at the south end of Lake Tanganyika. I have heard that other examples of these 'Bushman' stones have been found nearer to Lake Nyasa, etc." (_British Central Africa_, p. 52). [305] G.

[306] "I have not been able to trace much affinity in word roots between this language and either Bushman or Hottentot, though it is noteworthy that the word for four ... is almost identical with the word for four in all the Hottentot dialects, while the phonology of the language is reminiscent of Bushmen in its nasals and gutturals" (H.
