This fact has im-portant bearings not onlyupon physiognomy but uponethnology also, since it furnishes uswith a key to some of the most dif-ficult problems in this comparative-ly new and undeveloped science. The question of race will be foundto resolve itself into that of organ-ization^ and this determines and is\^\ indicated by configuration.
