Compara-tively, the average Australian brain isless than that of the Nigritians by abouteighty-four cubic centimeters, or six andsix tenths per cent of the whole. This critical mark of inferiority is re-inforced bv others of like significance. this we may add that the Australiannose is broadest and most nearly approx-imates the merely animal nose of thegorilla. All of these features combinedproduce an aggregate effect of mentalweakness and physical animality forwhich perhaps no parallel can be foundamong any other species of
