272 BEAX. 



the bizygomatic width is G millimeters more. The frontal circumference 

 is 8 millimeters more, the parietal circumference is 5 millimeters more, 

 the forehead circumference is 4 millimeters more, and the occipital cir- 

 cumference is 9 millimeters less. The size of the regions of the head is 

 almost identical with the Primitive type, but the stature is 8.7 centi- 

 meters more, and the nasal index is 20.9 less. 



This type represents the blending B. B. B. of the Spanish and Chinese 

 population with the Primitive type of the Filipino people. The B. B. B. 

 is the big cerebellumed, box-headed Bavarian of Ranke. so-called by 

 Beddoe(.5), and the type is a prevailing one among the Spaniards of tlie 

 Philippines. I believe the B. B. B. type is a blend of the Alpine and 

 Iberian of middle and southern Europe, with possibly an infusion of 

 Cro-Magnon and Adriatic, the last two jjrobably related to the Iberian 

 and Alpine respectively as progenitors or offshoots. 



The broad head of tlie Primitive type is combined with the narrow 

 nose of the B. B. B. and the face is a blend of the two types. This is the 

 reverse of the condition found in the Australoid type, where the long 

 liead of the Iberian has combined with the broad nose of the Primitive. 

 These two types may, however, represent a recombination in different 

 ways of characters belonging to onl}"^ two types, one European, the other 

 Eastern ; one with long head, long nose, long face, and tall stature, the 

 other with broad head, broad nose, broad face, and small stature. If this 

 be true, it indicates Mendelian tendencies for the four characters men- 

 tioned, and there should be found in the total population as many types 

 as the possible combinations of four characters in imit pairs permit, 

 whicli is 16. There are, however, only 8 types, which is the proper num- 

 ber for three Mendelian characters, stature, cephalic index, and nasal 

 index, by which these types are selected. There is evidence of blending 

 in all, as well as the evidence of Mendelian tendencies, therefore my 

 supplementary theory of heredity fits the conditions (2). The students 

 are probably in an earlier stage of blending than the Igorots, and may be 

 represented by Spurious Mendelism at B'- and nearer 3 than 3, whereas 

 tlie Igorots are in the stage of Xo Mendelism at B 2 near 3. 



MODIFIED ADRIATIC TYPE. 



There are 24 individuals of this type, of whom 6 show evidences of 

 European characters, 1 is a Chinese mestizo, and 3 othei-s resemble the 

 Chinese. Two have curly hair. The characteristics of the type are 

 stature above the average, very wide head, wide nose, moderately wide 

 face, and well developied frontal region, but poorly developed parietal and 

 occipital regions. A large number have no decayed teeth, but as many 

 have bad teeth, which accounts for the high average number of decayed 

 teetli. The age is above the average. (Table 1.) The individuals come 

 from Union, Bohol, Bulacan, Pampanga, Capiz, Pangasinan, Tayabas. 

 Uoilo, Negros, Rizal, Zambales, Bataan, Laguna. and tlie city of Manila.
