They are tall, straight-bodied, and thin, with small, long limbs.
They have great heads, round foreheads, and great brows.

Their eye-lids are always half closed, to keep the flies out of their eyes; they being so troublesome here, that no fanning will keep them from coming to one's face; and without the assistance of both hands to keep them off, they will creep into one's nostrils, and mouth too, if the lips are not shut very close; so that from their infancy, being thus annoyed with these insects, they do never open their eyes as other people; and therefore they cannot see far, unless they hold up their heads, as if they were looking at somewhat over them.
"They have great bottle-noses, pretty full lips, and wide mouths.

The two fore-teeth of their upper jaw are wanting in all of them, men and women, old and young; whether they draw them out, I know not: neither have they any beards.

They are long-visaged, and of a very unpleasant aspect, having no one graceful feature in their faces.

Their hair is black, short and curled, like that of the negroes; and not long and lank like the common Indians.
