It is to be reckoned that the indices and relative factors will also 

 differ between the two groups of men because the actual measurements 

 are different, and such is the case, as may be seen by the following list, 

 all pointing to the European origin of tlie C'ainta Indians.

In onlj- one index, the brachia.1, does the Cainta Indian resemble 

 other people than the European, and this index is like that of the Negi'o. 

 It is also the most distinctive characteristic of the body parts of tliB 

 N^egro. There is then evidence of Negro mixture in the Cainta Indians, 

 more than in the Filipinos of Taytay. 



The individuals, more than the average, show distinctive European 

 markings. One indication of European extraction for the Cainta men is 

 the presence of a relatively large number of Iberians, more than one- 

 third of the total number measured. The Iberians of Cainta also appear 

 to be purer than the Iberians of other parts of the Philippines. Take 

 for instance No. 15 with a stature of 163.6 centimeters, nasal index 77.7, 

 cephalic index 75.9, and omphalic index 35.9, almost a typical Iberian. 

 The face is long and narrow, the body is short, and the legs are long, 

 all Iljerian characteristics. Notice may also be taken of the three men 

 in the plate accompanying this article, who represent Iberians of type
