7483. I had an inhabitant of that planet presented to me. His face was like that of inhabitants of our planet, but the lower part was black, though not because of a beard, which those people do not possess, but because of a blackness there instead. This too is a matter of correspondence. That blackness reached round both sides up to under the ears. The Upper part of the face was yellowish, like the faces of inhabitants of our planet who are not altogether white.
