Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theological Eclectic Monthly, Vol. 3: A Series of Theological Papers Chiefly Selected From the Periodical and Other Literature of Great Britain, France, Germany, and Holland; July 1865 This instability Of the phenomena Of coloring, and the facil ity with which they are produced, identically the same in human populations otherwise very different, and manifested at times in a way altogether isolated in individuals, agree aslittle as pos sible with the nature of characters calculated to distinguish a species, and remind us in every respect, on the contrary, Of the facts which the characters Of race present. Moreover, we find it again, and in a yet more decided degree, in our domestic animals. In them, the skin where exposed presents variations Of tint not durable. The feet Of our ordinary hens are sometimes whitish, more usually slate-colored; they have become black, Olive, yel low, etc., in other races, some Of which are Of a very recent origin. The skin Of the body even is yellowish in the Cochin China hen; white in the Gallic; black in those dark species, which are found in America, on the plain Of Bogota; in Asia, at the Philippines, at Java in Africa, at the Cape Verde Islands; and which would be developed very rapidly in certain countries Of Europe, if we did not seek to arrest them on account Of the disagreeable appearance which they present to consumers. In them, indeed, the black color does not stop on the surface of the body; it penetrates inward, as in Europeans and the negro of whom we have just spoken; only here it is much deeper, and in vades all the mucous membranes, the periosteum, and the cellular sheaths which encircle the muscles, so that the entire flesh seems to be impregnated with it.
