And a python could easily strangle and swallow a man." "He could, but he doesn't," the Porto Rican pointed out; "rabbits are more his size, or a young fawn.

"Yes, and the women are not bad-looking," said Cleary. "The people don't quite look like savages," said Sam. "You can't judge of them by these," said Foster. "Wait till you meet some negritos in the country." "How large a part of the population are they?" said Sam. "About one-fortieth, I think, but where principle is involved you can't go by numbers." "Of course not," was Sam's reply.
The women manufacture enormous baskets, which I often saw them carrying on their backs when I met them in the forest. These Negritos were splendid marksmen with their bows and arrows, and during my stay amongst them I became quite an adept in that art; their old chief used to take a great delight in teaching me, and my first efforts were met with hearty roars of laughter.
Admit that Negroes and Australians, Negritos and Mongols are distinct species, or distinct genera, if you will, and you may yet, with perfect consistency, be the strictest of Monogenists, and even believe in Adam and Eve as the primaeval parents of all mankind. It is to Mr.
There is, indeed, some crude and simple agriculture pursued by a few of the Negritos of Luzon, but evidently as an imitation of the Malay agriculture or as a result of direct teaching, certainly not as an original conception. The conflict of the Pygmies with nature has been confined to the animal world, and reached its highest level in the herding industries of the Hottentots.
Such Negritos differing more or less from the Tasmanian, but agreeing with him in dark skin and woolly hair occupy New Caledonia, the New Hebrides, the Louisiade Archipelago; and stretching to the Papuan Islands, and for a doubtful extent beyond them to the north and west, form a sort of belt, or zone, of Negrito population, interposed between the Australians on the west and the inhabitants of the great majority of the Pacific islands on the east.

The Negritos are, no doubt, quite a distinct race from the Malay; but yet, as some of them inhabit a portion of the continent, and others the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, they must be considered to have had, in all probability, an Asiatic rather than a Polynesian origin.
