III. FILIPINO TYPES : RACIAL ANATOMY IN TAYTAY. 365 



The total liead height (chin to vertex) is 23.2 centimeters for Taytay, 

 which is 14.5 per cent of the stature or nearly that of the Cliinese. 



Topiiiard(31) (p. 1071) assigns the greatest total head height to the Chinese, 

 the least to the European, and places the Negroes of Africa near the latter and 

 the Negroes of Oceania near the former. 



The European has 7.5 heads of stature, the Negro, 7 heads of stature, 

 and the yellow people, 6.5 heads of stature. The Taj^tayans are therefore 

 like the Negro in total head height, because this is ^ /-, of the stature. 

 The total head height of the Igorots(3) (p. 437) is 21.6 centimeters 

 and their stature is exactly the same as the Taytayans in, relation to it. 



The neck length of the Igorots is 0.3 centimeter less than the Tay- 

 tayans, which is 7.39 centimeters. This is the same as that of the Besisi 

 of the Malay Peninsula, (Martin) (18)and of the Japanese, but it is 

 greater than that of the Senoi. 



It has been demonstrated that the Filipinos of Taytay resemble the 

 Negfoes, the Europeans, the Chinese, the North American Indians, and 

 the Bast Indian peoples; therefore it can not be doubted that they 

 represent a much mixed population and that many diverse types are 

 to be found among them. This becomes more evident as we proceed, 

 and finally an attempt will be made to select some of the types and to 

 relate them to the people from whom they were derived. 



LOWER EXTREMITY. 



The total length of the lower extremity, as determined by the height 

 of the trochanter from the sole of the foot when the person stands 

 erect, is 83.08 centimeters for 170 adult males, with a minimum of 

 72.8 centimeters and a maximum of 93.5 centimeters. The height of 

 the trochanter is 1.3 centimeters greater than that of the pubic spine. 

 It is 3.92 centimeters higher than the Igorots which is 1.8 centimeters 

 greater than their pubic spine. The relatively greater trochanter height 

 of the Igorots is probably due to the heavy fascia and muscles that cover 

 the trochanter in these hardy mountain climbers, thus projecting upward 

 its palpable part. However, the trochanter height of the Igorots in 

 relation to stature is but 51.6, whereas that of the Taytayans is 52.1 ; 

 therefore the lower extremity of the latter is both absolutely and relatively 

 longer than the Igorots. 



Hoffmann(3G) gives the trochanter height of 130 European males as 89.8 



centimeters. Topinard(31) (p. 1074) gives the relative trochanter height as 

 follows: 



30 Belgians 52.0 



12 Arabs . 52.6 



13 Berbers S3. 6 

 27 Annamites • 50.2 



3 Esquimaux 50.7 



10 Negroes 53.1
