vm.D.6 Bean: Filipino Ears 361 



mentioned above have derivative Mongolian blood somev^^here in 

 their ancestry. This assertion is supported by the similarity of 

 the Siberians and Ilongots in respect to their Primitive features 

 and ear forms, and one is led to believe that the same stock exists 

 in the two peoples, however it came about. 



Plate X 



The Ilongots of this plate are modified Alpine in respect to ears 

 and physiognomy, with Primitive attributes well marked in the 

 man and woman in the lower part of the plate. The man of 

 figs. 1 and 2 resembles the North American Indian, and the one 

 in figs. 7 and 8 resembles the Igorots, although the ears are Ilon- 

 got in character and not unlike true Negrito ears. The man of 

 figs. 3 and 4 and the woman of figs. 5 and 6 have Alpine ears 

 vdth modified Primitive characteristics. The woman is more 

 Primitive than the man. 



Plate XI 



In marked contrast to the smooth-haired Ilongots of the pre- 

 vious plates are the curly-haired Ilongots of Plate XI who are 

 supposed to be of mixed Negrito blood. The evidence is in the 

 hair alone. 



They vary in character from the decided Primitive of figs. 

 1 and 2 to the modified Primitive or Alpine in fig. 6, with vary- 

 ing intensity of hair curl in decreasing rate to the woman of 

 figs. 7 and 8 with straight hair. If the curly hair is due to Ne- 

 grito blood, the indication is that Primitive and Negrito are syn- 

 onymous terms. However, it is not impossible that the curly hair 

 of the Negrito is a character separable from the type of the in- 

 dividual, and thus may occur on pure Iberians as noted on one 

 Zambales Negrito, or it may occur on pure Primitives as seen 

 in this instance. The hair of the pure Iberian Zambales Ne- 

 grito was kinky, and the hair of this pure Primitive is curly, 

 which indicates also that there may be blending in hair form. 



Plate XII 



The men of this plate have familiar faces similar to those that 

 have often been seen in the backwoods of the Atlantic States in 

 America, and their ears partake of a modified Alpine type. The 

 two men in the upper part of the plate have more Iberian than 

 Primitive in their make-up, and the two in the lower part have
