The Negritos shown on Plate XVI are all mixed with the surrounding 

 peoples and partake of their characteristics. The leg length is in- 

 termediate, although the central figure, a Negrito from Cagayan, has 

 relatively shorter legs than the others. 



Plate XVII. 



The Zambales Negritos shown on Plate XVII are very much mixed 

 in type, and the variable length of leg indicates the mixture as much as 

 any other character. The men on the right of each figure have shorter 

 legs than the others, and the man next to the one on the left ia figure 

 1 and the one next to the right in figure 2 have longer legs. Here, as 

 elsewhere, the Primitive characteristics go with short legs and the 

 Australoid with long legs. 



SUMMARY. 



The Mariveles Negritos, who are apparently purer in type than any 

 other group and who are largely of the Iberian and Australoid types, 

 have relatively longer lower extremities than any other group of Negri- 

 tos represented by photographs; the Zambales Negritos, who are largely' 

 mixed and of the Primitive type, have relatively shorter lower extremities 

 than any other group; and the remaining groups, who are also much 

 mixed and intermediate between the Iberian and the Primitive, have 

 lower extremities of intermediate length. 



It would appear from the photographs of the full figure that the purest 

 Negritos are to be found in the Mariveles Mountains, and these Negritos 

 are of the Australoid type, which is probably a combination of Iberian 

 and Primitive that has almost reached the stage of complete amalgama- 

 tion. The Iberian characteristics are more or less pure in some indi- 

 viduals, the Primitive are likewise more or less pure in some, but the 

 greater part represent a complete blend of the Iberian and Primitive 

 that conforms to the type previously designated by me as Australoid, 

 which is found among the Igorots and all the littoral Filipinos so far 

 examined. 



CONCLUSIONS. 



Any conclusion reached after a study of the photographs presented 

 must be tentative and subject to revision. However, it does appear 

 that there are many inseparable factors in the composition of the in- 

 dividual, such as the ear form, nose and face form, length of the extrem- 

 ities, that constitute a character-complex which exists as an entity and 

 in inheritance may act as a unit character. 



A character-complex is that group of characters, such as the broad 

 head, broad nose, broad face, and characteristic ear that, combined with 

 small stature, constitute the Primitive species, which character-complex 

 usually hangs together in heredity, but may break iip to form new 

 character-complexes.
