Since writing the above I met
with the following observations
written by an American travelling
who accompanied an American
exploring
expedition which came to
Sydney about 18 say years ago:
The natives of Australia differ
from any other race of men in
features complexion, habits &
language. Their color & features
assimilate them to the African
type; their long black silky
hair, has a resemblance to
the Malays, in their language
they approximate more nearly our
American Indians; while there is much
in their physical traits, manners & custome
to which no analogy can be traced in any
other people.
