270 BEAN. 



occipital circunaference is 9 millimeters less, liut the other circumferences 

 are not so different. However, the fronto-parietal index is 2 less than 

 the Iberian, the forehead-occipital is 1.4 more, the forehead-parietal is 

 3.5 less and the occipito-parietal is 1.7 less. This means that the parietal 

 region is. well developed and the occipital region is poorly developed in 

 relation to the Iberian type, or the converse, the parietal, region is poorly 

 developed and the occipital region is well developed in the Iberian in 

 relation to this type. 



The teeth are notably free from cavities or any irregularities, and are 

 the best teeth of all examined among the 377 students. The age is a 

 little more than that of the Iberian, therefore the differences are not due 

 to less maturity. This type is believed to be a primitive precursor of 

 the Filipino, but whether JSTegrito or some other it is difficult to decide. 



MODIFIED PRIMITIVE TYPE. 



Forty-six individuals of this type appear of whom none are mestizos 

 and 7 have wavy or curly hair. They come from Laguna, Ilocos Sur, 

 Bulacan, Pangasinan, Nueva Viscaya, Cavite, Cagayan, Pampanga, Nueva 

 Bcija, Ilocos Norte, Batangas, Union, Negros, Rizal, Capiz, Masbate, 

 Tayabas, Uoilo, Romblon, Zambales, Bataan, and two from the city of 

 Manila. 



This type is below the average stature, very broad headed and broad 

 nosed, and has a short, wide face. The frontal and parietal regions are 

 relatively well developed, and the occipital region is poorly developed. 

 In addition, the teeth are sound, the individuals are further advanced in 

 age, and the weight is a little greater in proportion to stature than the 

 average. (Table 1.) 



Compared with the Iberian type the cephalic index is 10.4 greater, the 

 nasal index is 19 greater, the stature is 4.3 centimeters less, the morpho- 

 logic face index is 6.9 less, and the physiognomic face index is 3.9 greater. 

 The head length is 1.2 centimeters less, the head width is 9 millimeters 

 more, and the head height is 1 millimeter more. The nose length is 7 

 millimeters less and the nose width is 3 millimeters more. The lower 

 face 'height is 6 millimeters less, the upper face height is 4 millimeters 

 less, and the biz3'gomatic width is 4 millimeters more. The frontal 

 circumference is S millimeters more, the parietal circumference is 4.-5 

 millimeters more, the forehead circumference is 1 millimeter more, and 

 the occipital circumference is 15 millimeters less. 



This type is similar to the Primitive except in stature, in which it is 

 not only about 10 centimeters greater, but in which there is no overlapping 

 of the extremes between the two. The wavy hair and the broad nose 

 indicate Negrito affinities. The type is probably the Primitive modified 

 by European types and mixed with some Negrito blood. The head, nose, 

 and face are wider than the people of the Malay peninsula (17) and the 

 stature is higher.
