These observations may indicate Negroid affinities for the Chinese and Euro- 

 pean affinities for tlie Filipinos, although 20 to 30 per cent of the majority of 

 normal Europeans have absence of lobule, and the percentage varies among 

 Europeans from "9.2 per cent to 92 per cent." Doubtless absence of lobule is 

 not 3, stigma of degeneration. 



Five types for a new grouping are establislied hj notes and sketches 

 made during my preliminary observations; two from the long-eared 

 group and one from each of the others.

Fig. 1. — Type 1 is a long, slender ear, with a straight posterior border and square 



lobule, the outline a parallelogram with rounded corners. 

 Fig. 2. — Type 2 is long and flat, with a straight posterior border, and square 



lower helix without lobule. 

 Fig. 3. — Type 3 is large and oval, with a shelf where the lobule attaches to the 



cheek. 

 Fig. 4. — ^Type 4 is a small, round, flaring ear, in which the lobule and superior part 



of the helix are symmetrical. 

 Fig. 5. — Type 5 is long and oval, with large helix and small lobule. 



Bars that resemble any one type more than another, but are not 

 exactly identical with it, are put into groups, six of which are dif- 

 ferentiated : 



Group 1 contains all long, slender, and heavy lobed ears. 



Group 2 has long ears with no lobule and a square, inferior helix; the ear 

 is delicately molded and oval, rounded, or irregular in its superior part. 



Group S has small, roimd ears that are not always shelved. 



Group 4 contains those that are symmetrically rounded, both in helix and 

 lobule, and not always flaring. 



Group 5 has ears that are large and oval, without lobules. 



The groups are subordinate to the types and each contains only ears 

 that resemble those of the tjpe, for example: The ears of group 1 

 resemble those of type 1. Ears unlike any of the five types or the 

 groups are included under the heading "Others."
