II. FILIPINO TYPES :- MALECON MORGUE. 315. 



The. greatest number of blends is represented among the Igorots^ the 

 least among the Japanese, which would indicate, that the Igorots are 

 more completely amalgamated than the Japanese, but there are too few 

 Japanese from which to draw conclusions. 



A review of the blends of the Igorots, using the methods adopted for 

 selecting the Student and Morgue types, reveals 8 that resemble the 

 Iberian type, and 70 that resemble the Australoid, which would reduce 

 the number of blends and increase the other types accordingly. There 

 are undoubtedly traces of the Iberian among the Igorots, and a careful 

 inspection of the frontispiece of the work on the Benguet Igorots,^ 

 Plates I, II and III, reveal Iberian characteristics. The ears of the 

 Igorot portrayed there are Iberian type b. 



The Igorots evidently have more Australoids than previously desig- 

 nated, and a few Iberians, but they are not so pure as those originally 

 selected, and should be classed as blends. If we accept these additional 

 Australoids and Iberians, the Igorots are not so completely amalgamated 

 as the Students and Morgue subjects, but they should not be classed 

 with the types because they are manifestly impure, and are only blends 

 that resemble Australoid and Iberian more than any other types. The 

 Student Australoid represents both recent and remote Iberian and Prim- 

 itive amalgamated, whereas the Igorot Australoid represents only the 

 remote Iberian and Primitive amalgamated. The Igorots, therefore, 

 are the most completely amalgamated of the three Philippine groups, 

 and the Students are more amalgamated than the Morgue subjects. 

 This is determined by the relative proportion of the blends without 

 reference to the purity of the t)'pes. The latter will now be considered. 



The types selected from among the Igorots show resemblances to 

 European and Negrito, but they are not pure types, and one type, the 

 Australoid (type A), is distinct and represents a new type, the result of 

 the disharmonic union of the Iberian and the Primitive. This is addi- 

 tional evidence in favor of the nearly complete amalgamation of the types 

 that make the Igorot. The presence of the Australoid blends in so large 

 a proportion among the Igorot blends necessitates an elaboration of the 

 scheme for heredity to indicate that one-half of the blends are Australoid, 

 the other half being divided among the individuals that resemble the 

 Iberian, type M and type K, besides those that may be perfect blends. 

 The. Australoid type is represented outside the broken lines a-a in the 

 scheme for heredity, and a correct representation of the relative propor- 

 tion of the Australoid comprises one-half of the population, which is 

 probably true. This complicates the scheme, but the following explana- 

 tion may clarify it somewhat. The broken line I-I represents the posi- 

 tion of the Igorots. Between I and a'^ are the Australoids which are
