THE ARM MINUS HAND. 



This linear diniensJou is 55.42 centimeters absolutely, and 3-1.7 in 

 relation to stature in 175 Taytaj'ans. The same dimension of the 

 Igorots varies iron\ 50.5 to 53.9 centimeters absolutely and from 33.3 

 to 33.6 relatively. Among the Malays(18) (p. 347), it varies from 

 48.5 to 53.1 centimeters absolutely and from 31. G to 34 relatively. 

 Referring to the length of the humerus plus the radius as given above, 

 it is clear that the Taytayan is more lilce the Negro and the European 

 than like the Igorot or the inhabitants of the Malay peninsula. 



THE UPPER ARM. 



The absolute upper arm length of 175 Taytayans is 33.37 centimeters 

 and the relative arm length is 30.3. That of the Igorots is from 28.6 

 to 30.6 centimeters absolutely and from 18.7 to 19.8 relatively, and that 

 of the Malays (18) from 27.6 to 30.7 centimeters absolutely and from 

 17.9 to 19.8 relatively. 



The 130 Europeans of Hoffmann have an absolute length of 31.2 centimeters 

 and a relative length of 18.5. Topinard(31) gives the European's relative length 

 19.5. The following figures are taken from Martin (18) for comparison:
