That would be great Mike. I just found something, searching for the word "oblique" rather than "Mongolian." An 1887 issue of "Celtic Magazine" includes an article titled "The Present State of Celtic Ethnology," in which reference is made to Dr. Beddoe's book "Races of Britain." It says specifically that Dr. Beddoe believed that the Celts in that day showed indications of "Asiatic - Chinese or Mongols, even with oblique eyes included ..."

The discussion quoted above is on page 77. Or, go directly to Dr. Beddoe. Google books also has "The Races of Britain" by John Beddoe, M.D., F.R.S. published in 1885. Chapter II, begining on page 9, "Prehistoric Races," which includes Beddoe's discussion of Mongolian and other racial features among the Celtic.

I just finished a " Hammish MacBeth" book, in it Beaton mentions the Celtic eyes of some of the Highlanders. I have found the reference before as Mongolian eyes but have had no luck with Wikipedia or Google. It is a family trait and I have seen it on my trips to Ireland and Scotland. If I find the reference I will post it. Mike Campbell
