Note: In the online edition of Scientific American, March 11, 1876, p. 167 Scientific American the image appears only in black and white. Proof of a colored version is not possible there. Alternatively, reference can be made to the reviewed publication Ernst Haeckel, Nikolai Miklucho-Maclay and the racial controversy over the Papuans in Frontiers in Zoology, in which the colored version is shown under Fig. 16.
