The important results of these preliminarj' observations corroborated 

 by further study are the facts of the occurrence of a great number of 

 long ears and of manjr ears without lobules. 



Karutz '■ from the literature assembles the ear length of 1,452 foreigners, to 

 which he adds 309 further measurements on foreigners and 300 of adult men, 

 273 of whom are recruits of a German regiment. The results may be placed so 

 that the longest eared people come first, each succeeding group having shorter 

 ones than the preceding, the individuals with ears more than 6 centimeters long 

 being termed long eared and those less than 6 centimeters short eared.

This classification is but slightly altered when the ear length and 

 stature or ear length and ear width are compared. The Malay is closer 

 to the European than any of the ISTegroid peoples. The large number of 

 long ears (S? per cent) encountered in the first 1,000 Filipinos examined 

 by me indicates that the Filipino is also close to the European in ear 

 form; and this I believe is due to the impregnation of the primary in- 

 habitants of the Philippines by Mongolian and early European, as well 

 as later European (Spanish) peoples. This is made clearer as the in- 

 vestigation advances. 



The ear without lobule is present according to Karutz as follows :
