e Skizzen_, 1855, p. 121. [31] C.F.P. von Martius, _Zur Ethnographie Amerika's_, Leipzig, 1867, Bd. i, p. 74. In Ancient Mexico Bernal Diaz wrote: _Erant quasi omnes sodomia commaculati, et adolescentes multi, muliebriter vestiti, ibant publice, cibum quarentes ab isto diabolico et abominabili labore_. [32] Hammond, _Sexual Impotence_, pp. 163-174. [33] _New York Medical Journal_, Dec. 7, 1889. [34] J. Turnbull, "_A Voyage Round the World in the Year 1800_," etc., 1813, p. 382. [35] _Annales d'Hygiene et de Medecine Coloniale_, 1899, p. 494. [36] Oskar Baumann, "Contraere Sexual-Erscheinungen bei die Neger-Bevoelkerung Zanzibars," _Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie_, 1899, Heft 6, p. 668. [37] Rev. J.H. Weeks, _Journal Anthropological Institute_, 1909, p. 449. I am informed by a medical correspondent in the United States that inversion is extremely prevalent among American negroes. "I have good reason to believe," he writes, "that it is far more prevalent among them than among the white people of any nation. If inversion is to be regarded as a penalty of 'civilization' this is remarkable. Perhaps, however, the Negro, _relatively to his capacity_, is more highly civilized than we are; at any rate his civilization has been thrust upon him, and not acquired through the long throes of evolution. Colored inverts desire white men as a rule, but are not averse to men of their own race. I believe that 10 per cent, of Negroes in the United States are sexually inverted." [38] Among the Papuans of German New Guinea, where the women have great power, marriage is late, and the young men are compelled to live separated from the women in communal houses. Here, says Moskowski (_Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie_, 1911, Heft 2, p. 339), homosexual orgies are openly carried on. [39] C.G. Seligmann, "Sexual Inversion Among Primitive Races," _Alienist and Neurologist_, Jan., 1902. In a tale of the Western Solomon Islands, reported by J.C. Wheeler (_Anthropophyteia_, vol. ix, p. 376) we find a story of a man who would be a woman, and married another man and did woman's work. [40] Hardman, "Habits and Customs of Natives of Kimberley, Western Australia," _Proceedings Royal Irish Academy_, 3d series, vol. i, 1889, p. 73. [41] Klaatsch, "Some Notes on Scientific Travel Amongst the Black Populations of Tropic Australia," Adelaide meeting of _Australian Association for the Advancement of Science_, January, 1907, p. 5.
