Dorothy, as befitted her, wore a blaze of harmonious colors and looked like the spirit of life and youth.
Among them could be distinguished the "perros voladors," somber brown above and light-colored beneath, for which Minha, and particularly the young mulatto, felt an instinctive aversion. These were, in fact, the horrible vampires which suck the blood of the cattle, and even attack man if he is imprudent enough to sleep out in the fields.
Cutting off the boulevard, he entered upon a side street to make a short cut to Dorrington's house. He noticed, as he turned into the side street, a light-colored car standing close to the curb as he passed, but so many cars were standing in front of houses here and there that he paid no attention to it. But he had no sooner passed than the light-colored car glided after him noiselessly.

Despite constant statements to the effect that the members of this tribe are light-colored and the assertion of one writer that at least one division is white, observations made with the V. Luschan color table on more than fifty individuals showed that while certain persons are somewhat lighter than their fellows, as was also the case in other tribes, there is not an appreciable difference in color between this tribe and the others of the Gulf region.
