In the first part of the present memoir, it was shewn that Cæsar divided Gaul into three parts, of which one was inhabited by the Belgæ, another by those who, in their own language, were called Celtæ, but who, by the Romans, were named Gauls, and a third by the Aquitani. These three nations, according to the Roman historian, differed from each other in language, custom, and laws; but it was remarked by the author, that they also differed from each other in physical characters,—the Belgæ possessing what is named a Cymric type, the Gauls proper a Gaulish type, and the Aquitani an Iberian type. All these three races were to be distinguished from the zanthous, light-haired, Germanic tribes of the West of Europe, not only by the dark colour of the hair and eyes, but by other particulars, as the form of the head, &c.
