Ajiioiig the iiR'ii the Primitive and Modified Primitive types have a 

 higher omjDhalic index than the others and the Australoid has the lowest 

 of all. Among the women the Australoid, the Blend and Primitive types 

 have the highest indices, and the Alpine, Adriatic, and B. B. B. have the 

 lowest; but only four individuals of the latter types were observed. The 

 significant facts are that the Iberian and its related types have a lower 

 index tlian the Primitive and its related types in both men and women, 

 with slight exceptions. The Blend among the men has a low (42.2) and 

 the Blend among the women a high index (49.9) which indicates that the 

 female Blend is more largely Primitive and the male Blend more largely 

 Iberian in omphalic index. It is to be supposed from the above that the 

 women of Europe, particularly the Eussian and Jewish women, are 

 largely Iberian and the Siberian women are largely Primitive. 



The omphalic index of the Igorot women and of the women measured 

 in Malecon morgue is greater than that of the men of these groups, and 

 the omphalic index of the Igorot boys is also greater than that of the 

 men, all of which indicates that women are more Primitive than men in 

 this respect. 



REL.VTIVE UPPER-ARM LENGTH. 



In the i^revious study of the men of Taytay it was noted that the 

 relative upper-arm length, tlie brachial index and the crural index were 

 factors that diilereutiated the Taytayan from other groups sucli as the 

 Soudanese Negroes, the European, etc. ; therefore it may be well to 

 examine these factors in the women of Taytay. 



The relative upper-arm length of the men of Taytay is greater than 

 that of any other jjeople except the Sikh, Chinese, and European, and 

 since tliis factor is the same for the women of Taytay it may be dis- 

 missed. There is also little difference between the types in this factor, 

 so that- its varieties have relatively shorter upper arms than the Iberian 

 and its ^•arieties, following in this the relative length of the upper leg. 

 This may be significant as a differential factor of the types, or only in-
