Let me confirm my colleague's accuracy by two additional extracts — 1st, as regards crosses between Ameri- can Indians and white men. All readers are aware with what gusto a superior civilization has been attributed to the Mandans; and how sundry instances of fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes, among individuals of that tribe, have also led to surmises that they might even be of Welsh descent ! Major John Le Conte pointed out to me a solution in the fact that Lewis and Clark wintered among them with a party of 43 able-bodied men. As a specimen, read the following account of one orgie, on Saturday night, Jan. 5, 1805 — Unus nostrum sodalium multum alacrior et potentior juventute, hac nocte honorem quatuor maritorum custodivit. (Lewis and Clark, Travels to the source of the Missouri river; 1804-6; London ed., 1814; ch. vi., pp. 109-111.) — 2d, As respects crosses be- No. (of Notes, <£c.) tween Negroes, Indians, and while persons, on the Panama Isthmus; a passage which was indicated to me by Mr. Conrad :— The character of the half-castes is, if possible, worse than that of the Negroes. These people have all the vices and none of the virtues of their parents. They are weak in body, and are more liable to disease than either the whites or other races. It seems that as long as pure blood is added to the half-castes proper, when they inter- marry only with their own colour, they have many children, but these do not live to grow up ; while in families of unmixed blood the offspring are fewer, but of longer lives. As the physical circumstances under which both are placed are the same, there must really be a specific distinction between the races, and their intermix- ture be considered as an infringement of the law of Nature.—Berthold See- mann, F.L.S.—Narrative of the Voyage of H.
