The Samoiedes and Kamtschadales, in Northern Asia, seem to belong to the same family. A similarity of visage and figure, boats, huts, and uiutruments, —even a resem- blance m habits, character, and mode of life, —might iiave been produced by the common pressure of the same peculiar circumstances. The affinity of speech, however, i )i, iipcf«of which is such as proves the dialects of all the Esquimaux i»iii;i»itiu< to be mere varieties of one common language, affords a clear proof that an original race from some one quarter has spread over the whole range of those immense and desolate shores. This migration must have been facili- tated by the vast continuity of coast which stretches along the Arctic Ocean, and is not equalled in any other quarter. Hence, probably, these tribes, at distant ages, connected the old and the new continents, which otherwise were then wholly unknown to each other. Their external form seems influenced, and as it were [nfluence of characterized, by the severity of the climate. Their '', "'!"**'''"' stature is decidedly lower than that of the European; ruiui. five feet nine inches being considered even in a man as almost gigantic ; and though 'the trunk of the body is somewhat thick, all the extremities are small, especially the hands and feet, and the fingers short. The face is broad and flat, the nose small, and at the same time sunk so deep, that in some instances a ruler could be applied from cheek to cheek without touching it. It
