FILIPINO EARS : III. NEGRITO. 113 



of the man in figures 3 and i is nearer the Iberian than the Primitive, 

 and the same features of the man in figures 7 and 8 are nearer the 

 Primitive than the Iberian. 



Platic VIII. 



Plate VIII ilhistrates variable forms resembling the Alpine, although 

 none are perfectly true types, but rather a group of atypical, Alpine 

 ears resembling botli Primitive and Iberian, some more like one type 

 and some more lil^e the other. Figiires 1 and 2 represent a Mariveles 

 Negrito man more Iberian than Primitive; figures 3 and 4 represent a 

 Negrito man from the Island of Burucay, a part of the Province of 

 Capiz, off the northwestern point of the Island of Panay, who is more 

 Primitive than Iberian. The man in figures 5 and 6 is a Negrito from 

 Casablanca, Cagayan Province, northern Luzon, who is probably also 

 more Primitive than Iberian. Figure 7 is almost an Iberian, and figure 

 8 is almost a Primitive; the one, a man from the Island of Buruc'ay, 

 "with considerable Visayan blood," and the other, the "chief of the 

 Mariveles tribe, who is a typical Negrito, and, like many of the men 

 of his tribe, has quite an abimdant growth of hair on the face." 



The many fomis of blended ears intermediate between the Iberian 

 and Primitive belong to the Australoid type wherever the ear fonn is 

 not that of the Alpine. The Negrito-Australoid is not unlike the Fili- 

 pino- Australoid from diiferent parts of the Islands, and the character- 

 istic, large, straight nose may be seen on practically all the photographs 

 of this type. It is well marked in all the figures of Plate VIII. 



Plate IX. 



The Australoid nose may be seen clearly in figures 1, 3, 3, and 4, 

 Plate IX, and somewhat modified in figures 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the same 

 plate. The ears are all modified Primitive, and may be called Aus- 

 traloid ears. 



Plate X. 



The ears previously described in this study have been similar to those 

 of other Filipino populations throughout the Archipelago and no distinc- 

 tive Negrito ear has been demonstrated. However, there is a type of 

 ear that is presented as the true Negrito ear, although it may prove to 

 be only a variant of one of the forms previously described, or it may 

 be Australoid. It is seen distinctly in figures 1, 3, 3, and 4 of Plate X 

 (and in figs. 3 and 4 of PI. IV), in combination with the Australoid 

 nose. It is seen in modified form in figures 5, 6, 7, and 8, where the 

 nose is also somewhat modified. The characteristic of this ear is the 

 offset in the helix at the point where the lobule begins. This is in 

 the form of an indentation on both the ventral and the dorsal surface of 

 the helix, and gives a shelf similar to that of the Alpine ear, although 

 the lobule does not pass inmiediately to the cheek, but projects downward
