Very different results were obtained by Kroeber 2 from the 

 group of Igorot exhibited in San Francisco in 1906. His figures may 

 possibly be accounted for by the fact that about one third of the party 

 came from Alap near the southern end of the Bontoc area, also, as 

 he has suggested, by the preponderance of very young men. The 

 figures for this group are as follows : 



*A short series of Igorot skull measurements is given by Koeze (Crania 

 Ethnica Philippinica, pp. 42-43, Haarlem, 1901-4). 



* Am. Anthropologist, 1906, pp. 194-195.
