Occasionally, though rarely, I have met with females in the bloom of youth, whose well-proportioned limbs and symmetry of figure might have formed a model for the sculptor's chisel.

In personal appearance the females are, except in early youth, very far inferior to the men.

When young, however, they are not uninteresting.

The jet-black eyes, shaded by their long, dark lashes, and the delicate and scarcely-formed features of incipient womanhood give a soft and pleasing expression to a countenance that might often be called good-looking--occasionally even pretty.
The colour of the skin, both in the male and female, is generally black, or very darkly tinged.

The hair is either straight or curly, but never approaching to the woolliness of the negro.
