R.D Kirkpatrick 1965 Journal Tobelani Islands Mar Three spp of reptiles occur (other than 5 marine turtles) - 4 geckos and 2 lizards. (cont) The men are well-built and usually lean. The women are usually well-built but many tend to become obese as they age. The people are the height of the average American or are slightly shorter. They are brown-skinned and have black hair that is straight to wavy but is not kinky. The women wear their hair long but most of the men wear their hair cut in the European style. Most men are clean shaven but a few have mustaches, a few have sideburns and a few have a tuft of hair growing beneath the lower lip or under the chin. A few men, particularly on Nikunomu, have a long wide sideburn and are only clean shaven on the upper lip and beneath a line straight back from the corner of the mouth. Perhaps this latter style comes from the infusion of Portuguese blood that is most pronounced on Nikunoru Atoll. At least 3 half-caste children were born on Atafu Atoll during WWII when U.S. C.D. were stationed there. Polynesian girls apparently desire half-caste children
