BLENDED EAES. 



Blends of infinite variety are continually noticed, and many ears are 

 of such a nondescript character as to he difficult of classification. The 

 European types of ears found upon the Filipinos resemble closely the 

 corresponding European types, although the skin of the Filipino with 

 European ears may be brown, and other characters of the Filipinos are 

 not so truly European as the ears. This indicates that pure types of 

 ears do not blend so readily as other characters, such as skin color, and 

 the European ears gi-afted on the Filipino remain true to type, but 

 slowly taking on the characteristics of the native as generations pass. 



CHIXESK EAItS ( PLATE x). 



The Chinaman's ears are more largely European than those of the 

 Filipino, and- the same European ear types appear among the Chinese 

 as among the Filipinos, although among the Chinese the European ear 

 types are not so distinctly European as among the Filipinos. Judged 

 by ear types the Chinese are more completely amalgamated than the 

 Filipino and they have a larger proportion of European elements fused 

 into their composition. The majority of the Chinese noted are in the 

 shops along both sides of Calle Eosario and vicinity. The following 

 table gives the types of Chinese ears observed :

Among the Chinese, as among the Filipinos, the jSTegroid ear pre- 

 dominates, which points to a common origin for a portion of the two 

 peoples. The Northern and Sub-Northern tvpes appear frequently 

 among the Chinese, but are i-are among the Filipinos. The Sub-Northern 

 ear is a characteristic Chinese ear and it is called Sub-Northern because 

 it occurs on tall. lono--headed Chinamen, with Ions;, narrow faces. It
