II FILIPINO TYPES : MALECON MORGUE. 807 



This table includes the Igorots, Japanese, Manila Students and Morgue 

 males measured b}^ me, and the numbers given are the averages for all 

 the individuals of the groups that were measured. The Primitive type 

 is not found among the 10 Japanese, but it would no doubt be found if 

 a larger number were measured. 



The Filipino Iberian is not exactly the same as the Mediterranean 

 Eace of Sergi, but is really a Spanish-Filipino Mestizo. Two distinct 

 color markings are noted : one is a dark skinned, almost black individual, 

 much darker than the average Filipino; the other is almost white and 

 looks more like a European than a Filipino. The former may be the 

 Indian-Filipino mestizo, and the latter the Spanish-Filipino mestizo; 

 or, if this be not true, then the pigment of Iberian and Filipino react 

 according to Mendel's laws, being intensified in the one and decreased in 

 the other. The Iberian is a remarkably pure type, and, in spite of 

 crossing with the Filipino, remains almost pure especially in the 

 characters given above. 



The Primitive type is also pure and probably remains so, but the 

 evidence of crossing can not be positively known as it may be for the 

 Iberian. The two types are extremely different, and more distinct than 

 any other types as evinced by the differences. The origin of the 

 Primitive can not be located with certainty although accumulated evidence 

 points to the Kegrito as at least a closely related type. However, either 

 one or both may be only primitive forms due to retarded development 

 The stature of the Primitive is small, the head is small and round, the 

 nose and face are broad, short and flat. These infantile characters and 

 possibly others, may mean only stunted growth, but, whatever the cause, 

 the type is none the less a true type. Its distribution among Igorots, 

 Students and Morgue subjects indicates that it forms a part of all the 

 Filipino population. If it is the same as the Negrito, with straight 

 instead of kinky hair, as it certainly is by physical measurements, then 

 it is present in many of the Pacific Islands as well. 



The Australoid is nearly the same as the Iberian in stature, cephalic 

 index, brachial index and shoulder index; it is nearly the same as the 

 Primitive in nasal index and morphologic face index, and it is in- 

 termediate between the two in crural index. The nasal index is the only 

 character that is not between the Iberian and Primitive, and this is the 

 most characteristic trait of the Australoid.. The evidence so far ac- 

 cumulated points directly to the Australoid as a cross between the Iberian 

 and Primitive. The stature of the Igorot Australoid is, however, less 

 than that of the other Australoids, and the nasal index is greater. This 

 is probably the ultimate end result of the blending process. The others 

 are more recent blends and, in time, would be like the Igorots under the 

 same conditions.
