Abstract
IN an article on “Aino Ethnology” which appeared in NATURE, vol. xxvi, p. 524, and which I happened to read only a few days ago, Mr. A. H. Keane makes the following statement:— “Until the appearance of Herr Rein's large work on Japan, one of the most universally-accepted of these conclusions was that, whatever he their affinities, the Ainos must certainly be separated from the Mongolic connection. No little surprise was accordingly produced by Rein's attempt to affiliate them to the surrounding members of the yellow race. But it was soon seen that his arguments, apparently inspired by a love of paradox, were sufficiently refuted by the very illustrations of the Aino type introduced into his work.”
