We have already noticed the curious admixture of the pyramidal and prognathous types which is seen in the Hottentot races ; and among the widely spread and isolated tribes by which Oceania is peopled, the same com- bination is exhibited in various degrees. For Fig. 823. whilst the skulls of the Malayan portion of the population are referable to the pyramidal type rather than to any other, those of many native Australians, and of various islanders designated as ' Pelagian Negroes,' are almost ptirelv prognathous, presenting but a very slight indication of a pyramidal tendency about the upper part of the face ; and between these there is every degree of gradation. Thus, in the Australian skull, delineated in figs. 823, 824, there is decidedly less prognathism Fig. 824.
