VI. THE DELATION OF MORPHOLOGY TO DISEASE.* 



In a previous work (I. Filipino Types. Manila Students) I desig- 

 nated the types selected as new or elementary species, and suggested 

 that some of the types might be true systematic or old species from 

 which the new elementary species have been derived. The present work 

 not only confirms that idea, but enables the two kinds of species to be 

 differentiated. The Primitive and the Iberian may be called systematic 

 or old species, whereas the Alphine, B. B. B., Modified Primitive, 

 and Adriatic are elementary or new species which are at present in 

 process of formation and are therefore not so stable and definite as 

 the other two. The Australoid and the Cro-Magnon are intermediate 

 between the old and the new, but they are fairly stable and may be called 

 systematic species. The Blends represent what will probably be the 

 elementary Filipino species, or the Filipino race, of the future. 



Great interest attaches to this classification because of the association 

 of different diseases with the Iberian, Primitive, and Australoid, as well 

 as with the Blends. Sufficient numbers of the other species, if we may 

 call them such, were not found in the Morgue to justify deductions. 

 The following tables give the actual number and the percentages of causes 

 of death for each species :
