THE EAR FOBlf. 



The ears of the women of Taytay are not definite in type^ but more 

 mixed than those of the men. Unlike the other physical characteristics 

 which are so largely Primitive in nature, the ears of the women are 

 more largely Iberian, 53 of the 63 having Iberian characteristics pure or 

 mixed, whereas only 8 have Primitive. There are also li that partake 

 of the B. B. B. type, entirely or in part. ISTo other forms appear to any 

 considerable extent, although 16 are noted as mixed, which means that 

 the type is not pure. The inference is that the ears of the women of 

 Taytay are impure Iberian, partaking therefore of the Australoid, with 

 Primitive markings. 



Wlien the "Type of individuals" in the fifth column from the right 

 side of Table II, page 20, is corrected by the iise of the ear type as a 

 factor, and removing from the Blend those individuals resembling the 

 Iberian or the Primitive, the following changes occur, as represented 

 by the "Species of individuals" in the first column of the same table: 

 Eight Blends become Iberian, six Blends become Primitive, and one 

 Blend becomes an Australoid by its similarity to the latter type. Twenty- 

 one Blends remain Blends. It is to be noted that the Blends that become 

 Iberian are more like the Primitive than are those becoming Primitive 

 like the Iberian; and as the Blends which remain are also more like 

 Primitive than the Iberian, this is additional evidence that the Blends 

 partake more of the former than of the latter in characteristics. 



In this connection refer to Plate I where the Iberian (D) on the 

 left may be compared and contrasted with the two Primitive (Blends) . 

 This may also be done more in detail by reference to Plates II, III, and 

 lY. where both front and profile views may be seen. There can be no 

 mistaking the Iberian characteristics of the woman in Plate IV. The 

 long, nan'ow head and face, the long nose, the long ears with pendant 

 lobule, everted concha, and helix that is rolled out below, are morpho- 

 gnomonic (a new word similar to pathognomonic and having the same 

 meaning in relation to pathological conditions"). Likewise, the two 

 young women are unmistakably Modified Primitive in type, with shorter, 

 broader heads, faces, noses, and ears, the last with somewhat depressed ■ 

 concha and lower helix turned forward. The same is true also of the 

 Primitive (Blend) of Plate YI. 



There are only two other plates, which will be described at this time 

 to complete their consideration. 



The modified B. B. B. of Plate Y is a fair representative of this 

 tj^e as ordinarily seem among Filipinos, although it is hj no means 

 the pure B. B. B. as found among Europeans. However, the head and 

 face are somewhat oblong and the ear is faintly so. The photograph 

 does not show the ear to advantage; it is somewhat more oblong in shape
