Chapter VI

_Cydonians. Pelasgians._--Without entering upon any dissertation
on this topic, I content myself with mentioning the existence
throughout Europe of races distinct both in type and language

commonly called Turanians; the other with elongated skulls,
classified as Australoids. These races have everywhere left
traces alike of their presence and of their inferior civilisation.

Cydonians by the few words which I have introduced into the
