The index for the Primitive Morgue male is 4 points higher than for 

 the Iberian male, and for the Primitive Morgue female 5 points higher 

 than for the Iberian female ; and that of the Primitive type of the Igorots 

 is 14.5 greater thanthat of the Japanese Iberian. This indicates a longer 

 forearm and shorter upper arm for the Primitive than for the Iberian. 

 1'he difference in brachial index between the Iberian and Primitive types 

 is not so great, however, as that of the crural index which follows, 

 although this index can be presented only for the Morgue subjects.

The lower leg of the Primitive is longer than the upper leg, and the 

 character is more marked among the men than among the women. This 

 is one of the most characteristic features of the Primitive type and differ- 

 entiates it from all others, except the Australoid, which is similar to the 

 Primitive but has not quite so high an index.

The hip breadth of the Primitive is less than that of the Iberian 

 relative to shoulder breadth, and that of the women is greater than that 

 of the men. The actual shoulder breadth of the Iberian and Primitive 

 is the same; therefore the hip index expresses actual hip breadth in 

 percentages. This indicates that the Primitive has a narrow pelvis, 

 whereas the pelvis of the Iberian is broad. Is broad pelvis associated 

 with long head, and narrow pelvis with round head? (Lapicque.)
