Edinburgh, 1828. PROFESSOR DE GOEJE'S TREATISE. 89 Aryans, were dark-skinned races? And those tattooe...d Geloni and Getcs of the poets, were they also of gypsy hue ? ^ So far as the last-named race is concerned, this is not unlikely, if the "Picts" of early Britain were really Getce ; because those Picts were compared by Pliny to Ethiopians in complexion, and the poet Claudian calls them " Moors."

Metellus Celer was pro-consul of Gaul {ante, Note E.), are styled " Indians " by various writers, and are supposed by some to be no other than those " painted Britons," otherwise " Moors " and " Ethiopians."
