VIII, n.o Bean: Filipino Ears 359 



man (figs. 7 and 8) . All have ears of a like kind, a combination 

 of Primitive and Iberian C not unlike the ear of the Igorots, 

 The ear is oBlong, with everted concha, square lobule, and 

 slightly overturned upper helix, and it stands almost flat against 

 the head. In many respects this ear resembles the B. B. B. 

 In conjunction with this ear the nose is straight and the face is 

 oval and elongated, and projects slightly forward, except in the 

 Ilongot man where the Primitive characteristics of the Ilongots 

 are retained. 



Plate VI 



This plate shows a series of gradations in ear form from the 

 modified Iberian (fig. 1) to the modified Primitive in fig. 4, and 

 paralleling the change in ear form is the transition from a 

 straight nose with a high bridge to a retrousse with depressed 

 bridge. Three of the individuals are Maiigyans (figs. 1, 3, and 

 4), and one is an Ilongot (fig. 2). Two of the Mangyans, 

 a man and a woman (figs. 3 and 4) , are more Primitive than the 

 Ilongot who is a modified Iberian, which may indicate that the 

 Ilongots represented by the photographs are not all modified 

 Primitives and the Mangyans are not all modified Iberians. 



The Mangyan woman from Baco River (figs. 5 and 6) is 

 a Primitive with Primitive nose, face, and ears; whereas the 

 Mangyan woman from Bulalacao (figs. 7 and 8) is a modified 

 Primitive as indicated by the same features modified, which is 

 additional evidence of the Primitive among the Mangyans. The 

 Primitive Mangyan girl of figs. 7 and 8, Plate IV, is another 

 link in the chain of evidence. Here, as elsewhere, the women 

 are more Primitive than the men. 



Plate VII 



The Mangyan of figs. 1 and 2 is a modified Primitive man, 

 and the one of figs. 3 and 4 is a modified Iberian B with Alpine 

 characteristics in ear form and physiognomy, which indicate 

 that the Primitive form is not confined to the women. The two 

 Mangyans of figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 are supposed to have Negrito 

 blood because of the curly hair of the one and the Negrito fea- 

 tures of the other. However that may be, the one is a modified 

 Primitive and the other a modified Australoid-Iberian, which 

 does not exclude the possibility of Negrito blood. The ears have 

 Negritoid qualities, especially those of the man in figs. 7 and 8. 

 If it be true that this man is part Negrito, he is an evident ex-
