According to this classification the tvro types correspondino' to the 

 Yellow Pear and Honor Bright tomato are the Adriatic and Iberian, 

 but no doubt tlie crossing of two other varieties of tomato among the 

 eight would produce a similar series to that in the table, therefore the 

 Adriatic and Iberian were not necessarily the jirogenitors of the Filipino 

 although they may have been. 



We can conceive that the pure dominant, the Primitive, and the pure 

 recessive, the Xordic. ma}- have crossed to produce the eight tv-pes. The 

 Primitive, being dominant, has persisted, and appears in a greater per- 

 centage than the other types : the Xordic, being recessive, has disappeared. 

 The other tx'jies appear in proportions not unlike the theoretical ex- 

 pectancy, although the percentage is low except that of the Iberian and 

 B. B. B. The high percentage of these may be due to recent Spanish 

 infusion of the two types, which are characteristic of the .Spanish popu- 

 lation of the Philippines (Ears). The low percentage of the other types 

 is due to the progressive increase of blends, which now amount to one- 

 half the population. The scheme for heredity which explains the amal- 

 gamated condition of the Igorots(2) will assist in the understanding of 

 the student t^-pes. If the Xordic t^i^e represents the European and the 

 Primitive represents the Eastern, then the existing types may be readily 

 accounted for by the action of Mendelism as indicated above, but there 

 have been many types of Europeans and probably more than one type of 

 the Eastern which have fused to form the present Filipino population. 

 However, if we may suppose that two types similar to the Xordic and 

 Primitive united to fonn the European populations fa fact that is not 

 improbable), resulting in eight forms similar to the eight Filipino t\-pes 

 presented in the table above, and if these eight forms have projected 

 themsehes through the East, uniting with the Primitive wherever en- 

 countered, then the eight tqies of Filipinos represent the remains of a 

 departing Mendelism which is being swallowed up by amalgamation in 

 the blend — the Filipino of the future. 



The eight European forms may not all have penetrated the East, but, 

 having been segregated in Europe, only a few of the forms need have 

 come into contact with the Primitive to produce the eight Filipino types, 

 because the eight forins could be present in two types.
