JSecondai'y Australoid, Primitive, Modified Primitive, Blend (?), and 

 Adriatic. In addition to these varieties he finds four further types, 

 the Cro-Magnon (?), B. B. B. (?), Australoid, and Alpine, which he 

 considers are elementary species being at present developed from amal- 

 gamation of various combinations of the above varieties. 



"The word Malay has been avoided purposely so far because I have been 

 unable to decide to my own satisfaction what is the Malay type, if there is such 

 a type. My opinion is that the Malay is a composite of the Iberian from Europe, 

 the Primitive from Asia, and the Australoid from its primary center, wherever 

 that may have been. * ♦ * jj i\ig Australoid and Primitive types represent 

 the original elements of the Filipinos, and the other types represent modifications 

 caused by Europeans and Chinese, recent and remote, then the individuals of the 

 present population are larger than the original in all physical characters. Con- 

 tinued immigration, with consequent interbreeding of Americans and Chinese with 

 the Filipinos, will result in further increase of size. With increase of size go in- 

 crease in bodily and mental vigor. Advance on the part of the Filipinos will 

 be coincident with and incident to the continuation of the amalgamation of the 

 races, although better nutrition, fewer animal parasites, and improved hygiene 

 may assist in the advance." 



An appendix is added to the book giving a detailed description of 

 Doctor Bean's Homo philippinensis. Only a single specimen is described, 

 and it would seem that we should await the evidence of further research 

 in the Philippines, and in the East Indies generally, before ascribing much 

 importance to this type. 



In Chapter VII, "The Eelation of Morphology to Disease," the author 

 attempts to show that tuberculosis in the Philippines is confined almost 

 exclusively to individuals of the Iberian type. He also holds that the 

 Iberian is more susceptible to all diseases than is the Primitive. As all 

 of the persons examined were from Manila, or the immediate vicinity, 

 it would be interesting to have further data on this point gathered from 

 other parts of the Islands. 



Though several leading anthropologists have, within recent years, ar- 

 rived at conclusions similar to those of Doctor Bean with regard to the 

 classification of the human race, and as to the compound nature of the 

 type formerly Imown as Malay, yet no one, within the knowledge of the 

 reviewer, has set down his conclusions so clearly and definitely as has the 

 author of the book under consideration. It may safely Ije predicted 

 that the work of Doctor Bean will give a gi'eat impetus to further inves- 

 tigation along the lines suggested, and, whether his striking conclusions 

 be justified or not, the result will be a distinct addition to the sum of our 

 knowledge regarding the origin and development of the present existing 

 peoples of the earth. It may well be that it will give us some insight 

 also into what will be the future effect of the general amalgamation of 

 races that is now so universally taking place. 



The typography of the book, and the illustrations, mostly from photos 

 by "Worcester and Martin, are excellent, although there is certain evidence
