Governor Villamor is of the opinion that the people of Lubo and 
Taloctoe are Igorots. 
Dr. Jenks says that the Bontoc culture area stops short at 'Tinglayan, 
but does not tell us whether he has visited the latter place or any of the 
rancherias north of it. Of the rancherias listed by Captain Nathorst 
the only ones which I have visited are Balbalasan, Talalan, Sesecan, Pati- 
quian, and Salecsec. ; 
In my opinion, T'ingian blood is predominant in Balbalasan, Talalan, 
and Sesecan, although that of the Kalingas, at least, is decidedly in 
evidence and becomes predominant in Patiquian, while the inhabitants of 
Salecsec are almost pure Kalingas. 
More work must be done in several of these border rancherias before 
any final determination as to the exact limits of the territory of the 
Bontoe Igorots on the north and east can be reached. 
The line between the territory of the Bontoc Jgorols and that of the 
Benguet-Lepanto Igorots is well defined, the first rancherias of the latter 
tribe on the north and west being Quinali, Besao, Payeo, Bagnen, Bang- 
nitan, Data, Sabangan, Bonayan, Pingad, Gayan and Namatec. 
DESCRIPTION. 
The Bontoe Igorots are a tribe of Malay origin. While one occasionally 
sees individuals with curly or wavy hair, they do not show any of the other 
characteristics of Negritos, and if their curly hair is a consequence of 
the admixture of Negrito blood, such admixture probably occurred a very 
long time ago. 
The Bontoe JIgorots have been so carefully and fully described by 
Dr. A. E. Jenks, in his book entitled The Bontoc Igorot,® that any further 
extended description would be superfluous, and the facts essential to this 
discussion may be stated in summary form. 
The men are of medium size, but their muscular development is mag- 
nificent, and they create the impression of being much larger than they 
really are. 
Thirty-two individuals measured by Dr. Jenks averaged 5 feet 44 inches in 
height. Of these, the shortest measured 4 feet 9 inches and the tallest slightly 
more than 5 feet 9 inches. The average height of 29 women was 4 feet 9§ inches, 
the tallest woman measuring 5 feet 4} inches and the shortest 4 feet and three- 
fourths of an inch. 
The men are never corpulent and they are seldom very thin, except in 
extreme old age. ‘he body is distinctly narrower at the waist than at 
the shoulders or hips. The buttocks are heavy, the legs straight, with 
thighs and calves splendidly developed; the hands and feet are broad and 
short; the skin is dark-brown, sometimes with a distinct, saffron tinge.
