Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Koropok-Guru or Pit-Dwellers of North Japan, And, a Critical Examination of the Nomenclature
In previous addresses before the German Anthropological Congress in 1885 and five years ago before this society I have considered the eastern Asiatic race peculiarities in detail and have distinguished in Japan three essential elements: First, the north or true Mongolian type; second, the south Mongolian or Malayan type, and third, the Aino type, which is at present becoming less and less frequent. The Ainos were the original inhabitants, but for practical reasons I shall consider them last.
