FILIPINO EARS. 



47 



Pilipinos of the lower class, and for that reason I examined a large 

 number of their ears with the following results :

It must be said that this classification is somewhat misleading when compared 

 with previous classifications because the prisoners are very rarely pure types, 

 and those classed as Cro-Magnon, Alpine, B. B. B., Iberian a and b and Igorot 

 have ears that merely resemble these types, and show traces of other characters. 

 The large number of "others" indicates that many ears are unclassifiable in classes 

 selected. JIany — probably the majority — of "others" are blends of the various 

 types, but some are types not yet described. Seventy-three of the "others" 

 resemble the Chinese ear with large, flaring lobule (Sub-jSTortlieni) . 



The Bilibid types should be compared b}^ percentages with the ])e- 

 destrians of a previous classification (page 31) since they both represent 

 Filipinos of the lowly walks of life.

The significant feature of this comparison is that the percentages arc- 

 nearly equal in the two groups, although there is a greater per cent of ' 

 Malay and others and a smaller per cent of XegToid, Igorot, and B. B. p.; 

 among the prisoners than among the pedestrians. When the prisoners 

 are contrasted with the riders of a previous classification (page 31) 

 the similarity is not so great.
