Generally speaking, races living at high altitudes have weaker and more highly pitched voices than those living in regions ■where the supply of oxygen is more plentiful. Thus, in America, among the Indians living on the plateaus between the ranges of the Andes, at an elevation of from 10,000 ft to 14,000 ft, the men have voices like women, and the women like children, and their singing is a shrill monoi tone.
