The Taytayan resembles the Polynesian and is more like the European 

 than like any other group, although resembling more the Asiatic than the 

 Negro or American Indian. 



THE TIBIO-FEMOBAL INDEX OB CRUKAL INDEX. 



The length of the tibia multiplied by 100 and divided by the length 

 of the femur, or, on the living, the length of the lower leg multiplied 

 by 100 and divided by the length of the upper leg, gives the tibio- 

 femoral index, wliich represents the length of the lower leg in terms 

 of the upper leg equal to 100. 



The tibio-femoral index of the Taytayan men is 95.1. For purposes 

 of comparison, a table is given with the tibio-femoral indices of various 

 groups by different authors.
