quietly as he came, and I Tvas unable to find him again. He did not 

 live in Taytay, and some of the people there said that he came in from 

 the hills that lie immediately back of the town. I endeavored to obtain 

 a photograph, but unfortunately the Government photographer was absent 

 on that day and the only camera available was inadequate. However, 

 this was utilized and the resulting photographs are reproduced here for 

 the first time. (See Plate I, figs. 1 and 2.) 



The features of this man are large and heavy, the lower jaw is heavy, long, 

 square and narrow, with "negative chin formation." The brow ridges protrude, 

 the cheeks are large and prominent, the nose is massive, wide, straight and 

 depressed at the nasion, and the lips are full and thick. The brow ridges are 

 noticeably prominent. The upper lip is broad from its border to the nasal spine, 

 a distance of 2.7 centimeters, and the peculiarity of it is the rounded contour 

 between the nasal spine and lip margin as seen in profile. The face is prognathous, 

 the facial angle 70° — glabella, nasal spine, external auditory meatus — is not 

 greater nor less than that of many other Filipinos, although it is 7° to 8° less than 

 that of the Igorots measured in the same way. Nevertheless, about 30 per cent of 

 the Igorots have the same index and 4 per cent one of less than 70°. The nasal 

 index is 102.2, the cephalic 73.68, and the stature 156.8 centimeters. The head 

 height from the upper part of the external auditory meatus to the bragma is 12.5 

 centimeters. The ear is a combination of Primitive and Iberian, and should be 

 called the Australoid ear. The orbits are large and round, the forehead is low and 

 the glabella is prominent. The sagittal head outline is low, long, and somewhat 

 flat over the lambda, and might very well represent the combined Primitive and 

 Iberian head outline in the form of the Australoid. The type falls within the 

 group I have designated as Australoid, because it is long headed, broad nosed, and 

 small in stature, but this man is a form somewhat apart, typical of neither the 

 primary nor the secondary Australoid. The following actual dimensions are 

 given to complete the description:

The upper leg length, or approxmately the femur length, is less than that of 

 the lower leg or tibia, which would give a high crural index, a characteristic of 

 the Australoid type.
