The Malays, according to Montano, are divided into local groups, siicli 

 as Bicols, Visayans, Tagalogs, Ilocanos, etc., and as this classification is 

 followed by Folkinar and others, I shall compare their measurements 

 with mine in similar groups< by means of tables, at the end of this paper. 

 (Tables 2, 3 and 4.) Montano and Foli<niar confined tiieir observa- 

 tions to types selected to represent the locality from which they came. 

 whereas I have measured students as I could get them in the Philippine 

 Normal School and the School of Arts and Trades; both of the.se institu- 

 tions are located in Manila but receive students from all parts of the 

 Archipelago. '^ Montano's and Folkmar's measurements were of the com- 

 mon people whereas mine are of students, presumably from the better 

 classes, and some of them are mestizos; therefore foreign blood and 

 nurture must be considered in a comparison of the measurements. 



Only individuals 18 years old and upwards are included in this study 

 and only the anthropomorphic characters are utilized here, the remainder 

 being reserved for future publication as a comparative study of school 

 children. My thanks are due to Mr. Beattie, principal of the Philippine 

 Normal School, for his kindly cooperation in the work. It was under- 

 taken primarily as a study of school children, Iioping that a knowledge 

 of the teeth, tlie physical condition, and other data would be of assistance 

 in guiding those who are interested in the fundamental principles of 

 sociology.

The average stature of 377 students is 163. 3 centimeters, the cephalic 

 inde.x 82.1 centimeters, the nasal index 82.55 centimeters, the head length 

 18.4 centimeters, the head width 15.1 centimeters, the nose length 4.50 

 centimeters, and the nose width 3.76 centimeters. The nose is wider, 

 the head longer, and the stature greater than that of the Bilibid prisoners 

 measured by Folkmar(12). The stature is greater, the nose is narrower, 

 and the head is wider than that of the Igorots(2). The stature and 

 cephalic inde.x are about the same as the middle European or Alpine 

 stock as represented by the people of central France (10.24-). 



The mestizos are separated from the Filipinos and curves of stature, 

 cephalic index, and nasal index are constructed to represent the individual 

 in the mass and to show the mode and the extremes. (Charts I, II, and 

 III.) The curves may be interpreted to indicate by their summits the 



' The measurements of a few natives of the littoral population made at Baguio 

 and elsewhere are included in this study. For details as to method of measure- 

 ments, see "Tlie Benguet Igorots," This Jotirnal, Sec. A (1908), 3, No. 6, 413. 

 The circumferences of the forehead, parietal, occipital, and frontal regions are 

 all taken from the root of the zygomatic process and extend over the most 

 prominent part of each region, that of the forehead passing above th.e brow ridges.
