Negrillo

Lourdes Negrillo, from Vallejo, a producer from the Jaén province in southern Spain, said: “It didn’t rain as much as it should’ve done in the spring and that doesn’t help with the feeling about this next crop. I think that the new crop won’t be as bad as last year but probably the olives will be smaller and have less quantities of oil. If it rains in September and October then we will get a bit more. It will be a different picture.”

At an early period in the history of the race the negro divided into two groups—a pygmy variety or Negrillo, and the ordinary tall negro.

Bantu: same as Sudanese, but often rather longer; Negrillo: short, frizzly or crisp, rusty brown; Bush.-Hot.:

Bantu: all shades of dark brown, sometimes almost black; Negrillo and Bush.-Hot.: yellowish brown.

Bantu: generally dolicho, but variable; Negrillo: almost uniformly mesati; Bush.-Hot.: dolicho.
