[254] Compare W. Edwards, _Des Caractères Physiologiques_, etc., p. 29. [255] Individual distinctions can only, then, be based on the alterations of type, in characteristics which are not those of the supposed ideal. It hence results that, if we have lived with a stranger who has all the characteristics of his race well marked, we think that we see him while travelling among his fellow countrymen. [256] “It is one of the clearest facts in the animal, as well as in the vegetable world; all races generally reproduce and perpetuate themselves without mingling and confounding one with the other.”--Prichard, _Histoire Naturelle de l’Homme_, vol. i., p. 17. Compare Morel, _Dégénérescences de l’espèce humaine_, p. 2. [257] Third number. Most of the articles in this remarkable production are unsigned. [258] “No race will amalgamate with another; they die out, or seem slowly to be becoming extinct.” Compare the _Ethnological Journal_, p. 98. [259] “We arrive at the fundamental conclusion that it is useless for people belonging to varieties of different races, but neighbours, to ally themselves together; part of the new generation will always preserve the primitive type.”--See Courtet de l’Isle, _Tableau Ethnographique_, p. 77. [260] Latham thinks, however, that he has discovered some vestiges of the Phœnician race in Africa and Cornwall. Compare Knox, _The Races of Men_, 1850. [261] [Small columns, having neither base nor capital.--EDITOR.] [262] It is the case with the hippopotamus and the lion. [263] Thus, at least, Buffon translates “Gothi corpore proceriore, capillis albidis rectis, oculorum indibus cinere--cærulescentibus.”--Linnæus, _Fauna succica_, p. 1. [264] By virtue of the law which makes us find a family likeness in an individual after it has been absent, or rather hidden, for one or more generations. [265] “Rutilæ comæ, magni artus.”--Tacitus, _Agricola_, ii, § 11. [266] “Colorati vultus et torti plerumque crines.”--Idem, _ibidem_. [267] Idem, _ibidem_. [268] See Latham, _Celtic Language_, p. 371. J. B. Davis and J. Thurnam, _Crania Britannica_, p. 53. Garnet, in the _Transactions of the Philological Society_. R. Cull and Latham, in the _Edinburgh New Physical Journal_, 1854. Périer, _Fragments Ethnologiques_, Paris, 1857. [269] J. Philips, see _British Association_, 1849. [270] The name itself of this district shows, however, the habitation of these parts by the Scandinavians. [271] Compare W. Edwards, _Des Caractères Physiologiques des Races Humaines_. Paris, 1829. [272] See Périer, _Fragments Ethnologiques_, Paris, 1857. [273] _Recherches sur l’Ethnologie de la France_ (_Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie_, vol. i, p. 1). See, also, the discussion which followed the reading of this paper (_Bulletins de la Société d’Anthropologie_, meetings of July 21 and August 4, 1859). [274] We may remark this line is precisely perpendicular to the climateric parallels which divide France.
