Thanks for looking, but the text I have seen was British and I am fairly
certain it was in a hard bound book... I have skimmed a few books myself
over the last couple of days and have not found a hint of it (although I
have found some racial descriptions from about 1900- 1920 that may have
relevance and reasonable accuracy).
