The brachial index of the Taytay women exhibits marked individual 

 variation by reason of the great slrortening of the humenis in not a 

 few individuals. Three women were seen in Taytay, one in the neigh- 

 boring barrio of Eosario, and two In the town of Pasig, about 1 kilo- 

 meter distant, who had upper arms not more than 10 or 13 centimeters 

 in length, and forearms of the usual length. Unfortunately none of 

 these women could be measured, therefore no record may be made of 

 their brachial index. It is probably a pathologic condition due to 

 defective nutrition or disease, and not a type, although congenital or 

 hereditary predisposing causes can not be excluded. 



THE CBDEAL INDEX ( TIBIO-FEMOK AL ) . 



The index of the women of Taytay is 5 less than that of the men (95.1 



and 90.1), but in no way can this be compared with the index of the 



women of Siberia, because of differences in measurement and computation. 



Considered from the standpoint of type, however, the following differences 



are determined :

The evidence from this table is that the Primitive has a smaller index 

 than the other types except the Iberian and Alpine women, but' so few 

 as five individuals do not constitute a fair number for an average. The 

 Modified Primitive of the men has the highest index of all, but the index 

 of the women is low ; since here again only two individuals were measured, 

 this may be disregarded. The crural index of the Primitive Morgue 

 subjects was calculated to be more than 100, although only 7 men and 3 

 women were measured. It would be advisable to measure a greater 

 number of the Primitive type before the crural index can be determined 

 absolutely. 



There can be no doubt but that the Australoid type has a high crural 

 index, because enough individuals have been measured to indicate this, 

 and all the measurements are corroborative. This would make the 

 Australoid like the Negro and Negrito. The Iberian, on the other hand, 

 has a lower index, the Cro-Magnon and Alpine as well. The Blend, too, 

 has a low index which denotes greater Iberian and Primitive (?) in- 

 fluence than Australoid. 



Tlie crural index of the women in each type except the Primitive is
