Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels in New Zealand, Vol. 2 of 2: With Contributions to the Geography, Geology, Botany, and Natural History of That Country
There are two great varieties of the human race to which these natives belong: one approaches to the black, or negro, and has therefore been called the race of the Austral negroes; their colour is dark, their hair sometimes woolly, curly, or matted their skulls often show bad proportions, their lan guage consists of various dialects, or perhaps lan guages; the state of society with them is disor ganised, and they hold a low grade in the human family.
