78, tlie inJividnal is in the group about 80 under "' — 'i to — 12"' and 

 depending upon stature is above 165 centimeters or below Ifio centimeters. 



One notable fact presented by this table is that, regardless of stature, 

 the group about 86 has nasal indices less than the cephalic, whereas 

 the group about SO has nasal indices more than the cephalic indices. Tlie 

 group "about 83" is intermediate, especially those with stature below 165 

 centimeters. The group about 80 is the only one in which tlie stature 

 apparently alters the ratio. Here those with tall stature have an equal 

 iiumber of nasal indices above and below the cephalic, whereas those 

 with small stature have a greater number with nasal indices aljove than 

 below the cephalic indices. This represents a tall element with mesoce- 

 phalic heads and relatively narrow noses, which is probably the Iberian 

 and Cro-Magnon mixed with the Filipino. At the other extreme an 

 element is found with small stature, brachycephalic heads and relatively 

 narrow noses, which is probably the Alpine mixed with the Filipino. 

 There is also an element with low stature, mesocephalic heads, and broad 

 noses which is not of European origin, but mixed Australoid and Primi- 

 tive, and another element with tall stature, moderately brachycephalic 

 heads, and relatively narrow noses, which is probably the B. B. B. and 

 Adriatic mixed with the Filipino. There is also a large element with 

 intermediate- statiTre, moderately brachycephalic heads and relatively 

 small noses which is probabl}' the ultimate blend of the other types and 

 represents the Filipino of the. future. Chinese elements which are 

 similar to the Filipino and European types previou.sly described enter 

 into this blending type(-i). ISTegrito elements are present as indicated 

 by the curly hair, of which 2 per cent are found in the group with cephalic 

 index about 80, 10 per cent in the group Avith cephalic index about 83, 

 and 9 per cent in the group with cephalic index about 86. The increased 

 percentage of curly hair with increase of cephalic index points to Negrito 

 ratlier than European influence, although the latter can not be excluded 

 in accounting for the curly hair or broad head. 



The remaining characteristics of the blending type are presented in 

 detail in Table 1. 



Only 30 mestizos belong to this type and of these 13 are found among 

 the 35 tall, mesocephalic individuals with narrow noses that belong to 

 the Iberian-Cro-Magnon group mentioned above on this page. Other 

 indications that the Cro-Magnon influence is expressed in this group are 

 that the sitting height is 1 centimeter more than the total of the blending 

 type, the head length is 5 millimeters more, the total face heiglit is 5 

 millimeters more, the bizygomatic width is 2 millimeters more, and each 

 head circumference is 4 millimeters more, all of which brings this group 

 nearer to the dimensions of the prehistoric Cro-Magnon than is any other 

 type of Filipino (8). 



Compared with the Iberian the blending type has the morphologic face 

 index 4.2 less, and the physiognomic face index 2.4 greater. The head
