found among the Filipinos, the Iberian is present in comparative purity, 

 and the Alpine with its affiliated types, the B. B. B. and Adriatic, are 

 represented to some extent. The Ijlending of all types except the Iberian 

 has progressed a long way toward complete amalgamation, and the re- 

 sulting product is below the average stature, slightly brachycephalic and 

 moderately wide nosed. Of course this applies mainly to the better 

 classes of the littoral population, and not to the Filipino of the mral 

 districts, or to the non-Christian tribes of the interior of the Islands. 

 At least two types, the Australoid and the Primitive, and prol_)abl_y a 

 third, the Modified Primitive, constitute elements of the littoral popula- 

 tion whicli are otlier than European in origin, although primitive Euro- 

 pean elements can not be excluded from the Australoid and the Modified 

 Primitive types. 



I have purposely avoided the use of the word Malay because I have 

 been imable to decide to my own satisfaction what type is Malay, if there 

 be such a type. For the same reason I have used the word Xegrito 

 sparingly. Judging by the usually accepted knowledge of these two 

 races, the Negrito and the Primitive are alike except in hair texture, and 

 the Malay and the Modified Primitive are alike throughout. 



The Primitive type is almost identical with the type N of the Igorots.

It is evident that these are the same type, and that it is rarer among 

 the students than among the Igorots. The finding of two types, the 

 Australoid and the Primitive, among the Igorots and among the littoral 

 people of the Philippines is indicative of a similar origin for a part of 

 the tM'O peoples. However, there is a difference between the two peoples 

 in the remainder of the population. No type among the littorals cor- 

 responds to type M of the Igorots unless it be the Cro-Magnon, although 

 the B. B. B, is similar in stature and nasal index, but not in cephalic 

 index. The above corroborates my supposition stated in the discussion 

 in the Igorots, The Australoid and Primitive had been mixed with type 

 M before the entrance of the Igorots into the Philippines. These three 

 types constitute the so-called Proto-Malays or Primitive Malays, That 

 two of the types of the Proto-Malays remain in the littoral population 

 may be due to a residue of these people who remained when the Xeo- 

 Malays took possession of the lowlands, or it may be because of the fact 

 that the Neo-Malays contained these two types in their composition. The 

 nonappearance of type M in the littoral population may be explained by
