Carus, _Ueber die Typisch geurdenen abbildungen menschlichen kopfformen namentlich auf münzen in verschiedenen zeiten und volkern_, published in the _Novorum Actorum Academiæ Cæsareæ Leopoldini-Carolinæ Germanicæ naturæ curiosum_ for 1863, in which the author gives characteristic examples of the ancient types, as deduced from the examination of coins, etc. Compare, also, Nott and Gliddon, _Types of Mankind_.--EDITOR.] [127] See especially Lepsius, _Denkmaeler von Egypten und Œthiopen_, vol. ii, pl. 133; vol. iii, pl. 116, 117, 118, 136.

[132] Bory de Saint-Vincent divided mankind into _Leucotriques_ and _Ulotriques_ (see Bérard, _Cours de Physiologie_, 1848, vol. i, p. 394). Prichard refers all these races to the three following types:--1. _Melanocomous_; 2. _Leucous_; 3. _Xanthous_ (see _English Cyclopædia_, art. “Man”).

[144] This fact is related by Pallas, _Mémoires du Muséum_, vol. xvii, p. 238. A Kalmuc saw a body of men thirty versts off [nearly twenty miles English], while the Russian general could see nothing even with a telescope. [145] It would be interesting to discover if the fact related by Knox (_The Races of Men_, 1850, p. 271) is true; namely, that the sharpness of sight, which the Bosjesmans possess in a very high degree, is lost immediately on crossing the breed with the whites.
