However, Iberian characteristics may appear in hybrid, female Ne- 

 gritos. Evidence of this is furnished in Plate VI, figures 1 and 3, 

 which represents an old Negrito mestiza. The left ear is almost typical 

 Iberian, with everted concha, pendant lobule, and spiral helix, whereas 

 the right ear is somewhat more Primitive in character, with a slightly 

 shelf-like lobule and overturned superior helix, although the latter may 

 be due to pressure from the overhanging hair. The nose is straight and 

 neither very wide nor flat, and the skin appears light in color. 



In figures 3 and 4, Iberian characteristics of the ear also appear, 

 although less marked than in figures 1 and 3, but the other Iberian 

 characters, although firesent to some extent, are not so well seen. 



Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8 are placed alongside each other to illustrate 

 two old Negritos with Modified Primitive characteristics. 



Other ear types, besides the Primitive and Iberian and their blends, 

 appear among the Negritos. The Alpine ear of the same nature as that 

 observed on many Filipinos other than Negritos may be seen in Plate 

 VII. Figures 1 and 2 represent a so-called pure Negrito of Ambos 

 Camarines. The ear is Alpine, having a shelf-like lower helix inserted 

 diagonally downward into the cheek. The ear does not form a double 

 shelf above and below by the turning in of the helix at its upper and 

 lower parts, but there is a slight turning at both ends which indicates 

 Primitive characters. There is also a slight spiral twist to the helix, 

 an eversion of the concha, and the insertion of the lower helix or lobule 

 which suggests the Iberian. Therefore tliis ear must be considered as 

 an intermediate form of the Primitive and Iberian, retaining qualities 

 of both, yet different from either, forming a kind of mosaic, which is 

 a true ear-type. 



The physiognomic characteristics of this man are also intermediate 

 between the Iberian and Primitive. The nose is neither broad and 

 flat nor long and straight, the forehead is both square and bornbej the 

 lips are not full, nor is the chin markedly receding. Figure 5 represents 

 another Negrito man from Ambos Camarines ; here the ears are also 

 Alpine, although slightly more like the Primitive than in the other- 

 Negrito from the same place. 



> The Negrito man of figure 6 is also a Camarines native with Alpine 

 ears, in which the Iberian qualities somewhat overshadow the Primitive. 



The other features of the two men are those of the Alpine type, either 

 a blend of Iberian and Primitive or a mosaic of the two. The four 

 remaining figures (3, 4, 7, and 8) of Plate VII probably represent 

 crosses between the Negritos and neighboring Malays, and they portray 

 men of the Alpine type. The character of the ears and physiognomy
