Amongst the natives of Ceylon, the occurrence of the Albino, the offspring of dark-skinned parents, is not very uncommon. In looking over my note-books, kept whilst I was in that island, between the years 1816 and 1820, I find mention made of five several examples. Now that the subject of species and varieties is attracting so much attention, perhaps the particulars I then collected of these abnormal instances of the human race may not be altogether without interest, even if given a little in detail.
