Anthropologists are accus-tomed to divide it into two partswell distinguished " the dolicho-cephalic and the brachycephalic. ToJews; the Spanish and PortugueseJews, and even the larger part of theJews of Italy and southern France,To the second belong the AskenazimJews"that is to say, the Polish, Rus-sian and German Jews.

They travel in caravans toTimbuktu, and some of their tribesupon the confines of the Sahara areblack, as for instance the Dagga-tomis, as are also the Falachas Jewsof Abyssinia. In India white Jewsare found in Bombay and blackJews in Cochin. As to the Jews inChina, they are not only allied tothe Chinese who surround them,but they have even adopted theircustoms and the religion of Confu-cius. It is well known that in Italythey speak Italian, as in France theyspeak French and in Germany Ger-man.
