PIGMIES IN GUIANA.
It is reported through Science that an American commerial traveller in Guiana has recently discovered in that country villages inhabited by little people, averaging only about four ieet and a-half in height. Humboldt, when in South America many years ego, heard stories of dwarfs living in those regions, but he saw none, and seems to have given little credit to the reports about them that reached his ears. It will be remembered that Stanley in his last expedition in Africa, found communities of dwarfs whose existence had also been previously reported, but generally doubted.
