1. FILIPINO TYPES: RACIAL ANATOMY IN TAYTAY. 

 A. THE MEN. 



By Robert Bej5[jtett Bean, assisted by Federico S. Planta. 

 [From the Anatomical Lalioratori/, Philippine Medical School, Manila, P. I.) 



A study of the physical characteristics of the people of Taytay was 

 suggested by Doctor Freer in conjunction with the medical investiga- 

 tions to be made there in 1909. This study throughout the season of 

 investigation was greatly facilitated Ijy the kind coojDeration of Doctors 

 Clements and Nichols. 



A series of observations was conducted on about 500 individuals, forty 

 measurements of each individual being made by Doctor Bean, and 

 transcribed by Mr. Planta. The head measurements were performed 

 in accordance with the prescribed regulations of the International Con- 

 gress of Anthropologists assembled at Monaco in 1906(10,14), and the 

 body measurements in accordance with the personal instructions of 

 Professor Monouvrier(3). Additional observations on the ear type, color 

 of eyes, structure of hair, etc., were carried on, and sagittal outlines of 

 the head from inion to nasion were produced with the cephalogTaph(7). 

 The statistical part of the work was done by Mr. Planta, who alone is 

 resiDonsible for the averages, although every calculation lias been verified 

 until its accuracy is assured. Doctor Bean alone is responsible for the 

 iaterpretation of the results and the writing of the paper. 



This study is divided into six parts : I, Physical Measurements ; II, 

 Descriptive Characters ; III, The Segregation of Types; IV, Ear Type 

 and Species; V, Diseases and Species; and VI, Conclusions, The Separa- 

 tion of the Types into Systematic and Elementary Species. 



GENERAL C0XSIDER.4TI0NS. 



The town of Taytay probably contains a more mixed population than 

 the average Filipino town at the same distance from the coast (20 kilo- 

 meters), for the following reasons: It is near enough to Manila (15 

 kilometers) to receive some of the overflow of the population from that 

 city, and perhaps for this reason and because of its pleasant location on 

 an elevated knoll at the base of the foothills of adjacent mountains, it is 



^ These studies form a part of those carried on during the medical survey of the 

 town of Taytay, the remaining papers on which have already been published in 

 Sec. B. 4 (1909) of this Journal — Co-Editoe.
