Twenty plates 



This is a study of contrasts and parallels. The Ilongots live 

 in the interior of Luzon; the Maiigyans in the interior of Min- 

 doro ; both are said to have Negrito blood. Considering the in- 

 dividual as a whole and the characteristics of the individuals 

 independently of each other, the two tribes are both alike and 

 unlike in physical make-up, and other contrasts and parallels 

 will develop as the study continues. 



FRONT AND PROFILE HEAD VIEWS 



Plate I 



Four Maiigyans of Bulalacao, Mindoro, appear in this plate, 

 and the four, although different in some respects, resemble each 

 other in important characteristics. The Maiigyan of figs. 1 and 



2 has modified Iberian ears, type A, and the Maiigyan of figs. 



3 and 4 has modified Iberian, type B; the two have relatively 

 long faces and straight noses and their general similarity is evi- 

 dent. European (East Indian?) blood lies back of these men 

 somewhere in their ancestry. The two other Maiigyans, figs. 5, 

 6, 7, and 8, resemble types other than the European, although 

 some resemblance to the latter may be seen. The man of figs. 

 5 and 6 has modified Alpine ears, wide face, prominent cheek 

 bones, narrow, aquiline nose, and is similar to the North Ameri- 

 can Indian, especially in profile. The man in figs. 7 and 8 looks 

 like a woman, and but for the brown color might be taken for a 

 European. The face is rather wide, but not so wide as that of 

 the man in figs. 5 and 6; the nose is long, high, slender, and 

 straight ; and the ears are modified Iberian, type A. 



Plate II 



By contrast with the Maiigyans of Plate I, the Ilongots of 

 Plate II have short, broad faces, short broad noses that are de- 

 pressed at the bridge and turned up at the tip, and ears that are
