[547] The contrast between the two elements is drawn in a few bold
strokes by Mrs Z. Colvile, who found that in the east coast districts
the natives (Betsimisarakas chiefly) were black "with short, curly hair
and negro type of feature, and showed every sign of being of African
origin. The Hovas, on the contrary, had complexions little darker than
those of the peasantry of Southern Europe, straight black hair, rather
sharp features, slim figures, and were unmistakably of the Asiatic type"
(_Round the Black Man's Garden_, 1893, p. 143). But even amongst the
Hovas a strain of black blood is betrayed in the generally rather thick
lips, and among the lower classes in the wavy hair and dark skin.

[552] In fact there is no great parade of morality on either side, nor
is it any reflection on a woman to have children by the priest.

[558] Girard de Rialle, _Rev. d'Anthrop._, Jan. and April, 1885. These
studies are based largely on the data supplied by M. Paul Ibis and
earlier travellers in the island. Nothing better has since appeared
except G. Taylor's valuable contributions to the _China Review_ (see
below). The census of 1904 gave 2,860,574 Chinese, 51,770 Japanese and
104,334 aborigines.
[559] Lit. "ripe barbarians" (_barbares murs_, Ibis).
[560] See facsimiles of bilingual and other MSS. from Formosa in T. de
Lacouperie's _Formosa Notes on MSS., Languages, and Races_, Hertford,
1887. The whole question is here fully discussed, though the author
seems unable to arrive at any definite conclusion even as to the _bona_
or _mala fides_ of the noted impostor George Psalmanazar.
