not Iberian, although an indication of slight eversion of the 

 concha is present; nor are they true Primitive ears, but a modi- 

 fied Primitive of peculiar type. The ear may be described as 

 follows : Short and not broad, with overturned and inrolled upper 

 helix, slightly everted concha, and small pendant lobule, resem- 

 bling somewhat the true Negrito ear. It is found exactly as de- 

 scribed, or somewhat modified, on all the Ilongot men and women, 

 although on the latter it partakes more of the Primitive type. 

 The Ilongots are modified Primitive people in contradistinction 

 to the Mangyans who are modified Iberians. 



The hairy face of certain Ilongots is a noticeable feature, and 

 one in striking contrast to the smooth physiognomy of the Malays 

 in general. It would be of scientific value to determine the 

 hereditary characteristics of the face hair, to determine if its 

 presence and absence follow Mendel's laws, or if it blends~in 

 inheritance. 



Plate III 



The Ilongots of this plate have longer faces and longer, 

 straighter noses, with higher bridges than the Ilongots of Plate 

 II, and the ear is more like the Alpine, although it still is 

 distinctively the Ilongot ear. Varying quantities of hair appear 

 on the face, from the Ilongots in figs. 1 and 2 with goatee and 

 moustache to the smooth face of the man in figs. 7 and 8, which 

 indicates that presence and absence of hair on the face may blend 

 in heredity. 



Plate IV 



The Ilongot women of this plate are decidedly Primitive in 

 type, and also the Mangyan girl (figs. 7 and 8), although the 

 noses are not broad and the nostrils do not turn forward to such 

 a degree as in the pure Primitive. Therefore, they would come 

 under the head of modified Primitive people, or blends of the 

 Primitive type. The ear is characteristically Primitive, although 

 retaining the Ilongot type already noted. The small, prominent 

 forehead, the vertical profile of the face, and the small, reced- 

 ing chin complete the picture of a Primitive type. The Mang- 

 yan girl, so much like the Ilongots, is only another parallel 

 between the two tribes. 



Plate V 



To continue the parallel and contrasts, a Mangyan man (figs. 

 1 and 2) is placed beside an Ilongot woman (figs. 3 and 4) 

 and an ^Ilongot man (figs. 5 and 6) is placed beside a Maiigyan
