The strata are either of lava or burnt matter, with veins of good soil between them...
Página 229 - It is remarkable, however, to observe how surely all these classes of men in a few generations, even •without any intermarriage with the Hindoos, assume the deep olive tint, little less dark than a negro, which seems natural to the climate.
