As representatives of these two groups, I present, in closing, two 

 especially well-formed crania from the Philippines. One of them, 

 which shows the marks of antiquity that I have set forth, belongs to 

 an Indio. It has the high cranial capacity of 1,540 cubic centi- 

 meters, a horizontal circumference of 525 millimeters, and a sagittal 

 circumference of 386 millimeters; its form is hypsidolicho, quite on the 

 border of mesocephaly: Index of width, 75,3; index of height, 76.3. 

 Besides, it has the appearance of a race capable of development; only, 

 the nose is platyrrhine (index, 52.3), as among so many Malay tribes, 

 and in the left temple it bears a Processus frontalis squamae temporalis 

 developed partly from an enlarged fontanelle. The other skull 

 was taken from a Negrito grave of Zambales by Dr. A. B. Meyer. 

 It makes, at first glance, just as favorable an impression, but its 

 capacity is only 1,182 cubic centimeters; therefore 358 cubic centi- 

 meters less than the other. Its form is orthobrachycephalic ; breadth 

 index, 80.2; height index, 70.6. As in single traits of development, so 

 in the measurements, the difference and the debased character of this 

 race obtrude themselves. Only, the nasal index is somewhat smaller; 

 on the whole, the nose has in its separate parts a decidedly pithecoid 

 form.
