Luzon and Mindanao are the largest of the Philippine Islands. 

 Therefore, one would suppose that the tribes in the interior of 

 the two islands have been influenced less than those on the coast 

 by recent mixtures with the Malay and European, and the types 

 among those tribes would represent the primary elements of 

 the Filipinos. Having this supposition in mind, I have attempted 

 to select representative individuals from the best known groups 

 of the interior of the two islands to serve as a basis for a fuller 

 study of the inland tribes, which is to be undertaken subse- 

 quently. 



The tribes selected for this study are the most numerous of 

 all in the Islands and include the Bontoc Igorots, Benguet Igorots, 

 Ifugaos, and Kalingas of Luzon; and the Moros, Bagobos, and 

 Subanuns of Mindanao. The photographs were selected from 

 the collections of Mr. Dean C. Worcester and of the Bureau of 

 Science. 



THE BONTOC IGOROTS 



The Bontoc Igorots are so well known and have been so fully 

 treated by others that it is not necessary to do more than men- 

 tion them, but it is of interest to note the presence of the Iberian 

 and Primitive types here as elsewhere among the inland tribes. 

 in Plate I, figs. 1, 2, and 5, may be seen two Iberian men of 

 Bontoc. The evident Iberian characteristics are the long nar- 

 row face, the long narrow nose, the pointed chin, and the 

 Iberian ear type A — recognized by absence of lobule, eversion 

 of concha, and rolling out of helix at the lower part. These 

 men have long narrow heads which cannot be determined ex- 

 actly from the photographs because of the hair. The Primitive 

 type of Bontoc Igorot is represented in Plate I, figs. 3, 6, and 7. 

 The young woman has the broad flat face, short broad nose with 

 depressed bridge and flaring nostrils that open somewhat down- 

 ward, and the bowl-shaped ear with much rolled-in helix ; the man
