III. FILIPINO types: racial anatomy in taytay. 373 



The Europeans (Hoffmann (36) and Topinard(31 ) ) liave an absolute hand 

 length of 18.4 centimeters and a relative hand length of 11.5. 



From these measurements the Taytaj-ans -svimUl he phieed in the midst 

 of the groups given above and in hand length they are not a great deal 

 less than the Europeans. 



Krause(36) gives the distance from the knee to the middle finger with the 

 arm straight at the side as 14 centimeters in Europeans and only 5 to 8 centi- 

 meters in Negroes. 



In the Taytayans the same distance is 13.83 centimeters, which is 

 jjractically equal to that in the Europeans. 



THE INTERMEMBKAI. INDEX. 



This may be represented best by the four long parts of the extremities: 

 upper arm, forearm, atpper leg and lower leg, on the living, and Ijy the 

 corresponding bones: hunrerus, radius, femur and tibia on the skeleton. 

 The index is the length of the upper extremity, or upper arm plus fore- 

 arm, in terms of the lower extremity, upper leg plus lower leg, when 

 the latter equals 100. For the Tayta3rans it is 72.4, for the Igorots(3) 

 (p. 457) it is 69.2 to 70.6, and for the Malays(18) (p. 267) it is from 



63.7 to 71.4. 





Soularue(29) gives the following on the skeleton: 





Europeans 



09.1 



. Chinese and Annamese 



68.5 



Americans 



69.0 



Negroes 



68.3 



Negritos 



69.0 



Australians 



69.1 



Apparently the lower extremity of the Negro is relatively long and 

 the upper is relatively short. The difference is slight and this factor is 

 not so good a differentiator as others. 



The facts hereinbefore presented are given in the usual manner with a 

 system of averages which may be of assistance in establishing differences 

 and resemblances of various groups of men, but it is not of much as- 

 sistance in fathoming the com^Dlex consistency of the group under con- 

 sideration. This must be done in a different way, and the only way 

 that presents itself as feasible is to study the individuals (38). This we 

 will do presently b}' grouping tliem so that the individuals of each group 

 resemble one another. The object in view in giving the measurements 

 that ha\e gone liefore was to convince anyone that very little could be 

 derived from such a study except what was known before. 



We have alread}^ demonstrated that the stature of the Taytayan is 

 similar to the other eastern Asiatic and Pacific peoples; the sitting height 

 is the same as that of the ISTorth American Indian; the body length is 

 the same as the European's ; the total head height resembles that of the
