Jjrmvii IY A TAijiitt. A Fccjec ;:>ii l. WJUUui.jat Si- THE PAPUAN RACE. 145 occasion to remark, that strangers did not readily forget the featuresof Veindovi. In average stature, the Feejeeans were found to exceedthe White race; but they fell below the men of Tonga and Samoa. The profile in general appeared to be as vertical, if not more sothan in the White race; but this I find, is not confirmed by the facialangle of the skull; and it may possibly be accounted for, by some dif-ference in the carriage of the head. The Feejeean skulls broughthome by the Expedition, will not readily be mistaken for Malayan;they bear rather the Negro outline; but they are much compressed,and differ materially from all other skulls that I have seen. For characteristic representations of the Papuan race, I wouldrefer to Labillardieres man of Beaupre, and woman of New Cale-donia. Also, to the portraits taken by Mr. Drayton and Mr. Agate;particularly those of Tanoa, Veindovi, Tui-Mbua, Thokanauto orPhili
