FILIPINO EARS.

stands almost at right angles to the head in its lower half, which is 

 oblong and similar to the lobe of the Igorot ear or of the B. B. B., 

 except that these two are usnally parallel to the head, or at a more acute 

 angle than 90 degrees. 



The types of Chinamen corresponding to the ear types are in all 

 particvilars (with slight differences) like the types described under Fi- 

 lipino ears. A greater number of Chinese than of Filipinos are tall, 

 and not so many of the Chinese are stocky. The relative proportion of 

 each type among the two peoples may be of interest.

The Chinese have a greater percentage of Negroid, Alpine, Iberian b, 

 Xorthern and Sub-Northern ears, and ears without lobules; the Fili- 

 pinos liave a greater percentage of B. B. B., Igorot, Malay, and Cro- 

 Magnon ears, and each people has an equal number of Iberian a ears. 

 The number of long ears is great in both people, but slightly less among 

 the Filipinos. It is not possible to laiow from a random sample of the 

 population that the types are present in the exact proportion designated, 

 but the presence of the Igorot, the Malay, and the B. B. B. (Spanish) 

 types in the Philippines among the non-Christian tribes leads me to 

 believe that the three types are more frequent among the Filipinos than 

 among the Chinese. 



SPANISH EAES. 



The ears of the Spaniards in Manila are largely of two types, the 

 Iberian a and the B. B. B., although the Alpine ear is of frequent 

 occurrence, but partakes of the characteristics of the B. B. B., with 

 which it is blended so that the line of demarkation is slight. The Cro- 

 Magnon ear must claim attention also because of its frequent occurrence.
