13 Ears of a Filipino woman of the Hyper type; see also figure 16 for the 

 front and back views of the same ear. Note the turning back of the helix, the 

 prominence of the anthelix, tragus and antitragus, which are characteristics 

 of the Hyper type. The skin lines are somewhat irregular. 



14 Ears of a Filipino man of the Meso type; see also figure 17 for the front 

 and back views of the same ear. Note the large helix, semi-bowl shape, and 

 sloping shelf lobule, which are characteristics of the Meso type. The skin lines 

 are distinct on the left ear, but indistinct on the right, and converge about the 

 auricular tubercle in each ear. 



15 Ears of a Russian of the Hypo type; see also figure 18 for the front and 

 back views of another Hypo ear (Filipino). Note the very large helix, much 

 rolled in, forming a bowl-shaped ear, with shelf lobule, depressed anthelix, tragus 

 and antitragus. These ears are both involuted; the skin lines are obscure.
