III. FILU'INO TYPES : UACIAL ANATOMY IN TAYTAY. 9 



cidental to stature, the type^ witli small stature having relatively short 

 irpper arms and legs, and the types with medium or tall stature having 

 relatively long upper arms and legs. The brachial and crural indices 

 may throw some light on these conditions. 



urach:al index (radio-humeral). 



The brachial index of the women of Taytay is 70.1, a little less than 

 that of the men. It is also less than that of the Eussian women meas- 

 ured by Teumin, 72.4, the Siberian women measured by Jochelson- 

 Brodslvy, 75.0, the Aino women of Koganei, 79.4, and the Japanese of 

 Balz, 80.5 to 89. The same inde.x is 75.6 for the Igorot women. When 

 this is examined for the types, the results are somewhat discordant; 

 although the Primitive and related forms have a higher index than the 

 Iberian they are practically the same, and the low index of the 

 Australoid may be attributed to Iberian influence. The male Blend, 

 which lias heretofore seemed to liave more Iberian or fewer Primitive 

 elements than the female Blend, in this instance seems to have more 

 Primitive elements or fewer Iberian elements.- However, the Primitive. 

 Modified Primitive, and Blend have higher indices than the Iberian, 

 Cro-Magnon, and Australoid, which indicates that the Primitive brachial 

 index is higher than the Iberian.

If this applies to the Russians, Siberians, and Japanese, then, without 

 doubt, the Primitive elements increase as the Orient is approached 

 through those three peoples, certainly among the women. The Taytay 

 women in brachial index appear to have more Iberian elements and 

 fewer Primitive than any of the three. 



Hamy ° gives the brachial index of infants and children as 88.88 for those 

 aged 2 months, and 72.30 for those aged 5 to 13.5 years, which would indicate 

 that the Primitive is more infantile than the Iberian, because the brachial index 

 of the Primitive is higher than that of the Iberian.
