Xegi'o; the luugtli of the h)vvei' extremity is the .same as tlial of the 

 European; the tibio-femoral index is intermediate between that of tlie 

 Asiatic-European and the Xegro-Negrito ; and the total length of the 

 iipper extremity is like botli Xegro and European. The upper arm length 

 resembles that of the European and the Sikli, and the forearm length is 

 exactly that of the European, but difl'erent from either the Japanese on 

 the one hand or the Negro on the other; and lastly, tlie Taytayan is more 

 like the European than the X,egro or Xegrito in the brachial index and the 

 hand Icngtli. At the beginning (d' tliis paper it was stated that the Tay- 

 tayans are probably derived from mixtures of Filipinos, Chinese, Spanish, 

 and East Indian elements. This has been estaidislied by body measure- 

 ments. There is also evidence of !--omc relationsliijj with the Xegro 

 although there is considerable evidence that the greatest amount of 

 resemblance is for the European. When the types are established it will 

 be seen that a majority of them are European, and that a majority of 

 the individuals pertain to the European types. 



THE AVERAGE TAYTAYAK — A TYPK'AI. FII.U'I.XO? 



The individual represented by serial number 99, clinical number 1?(;, 

 is almost exactly equal in every dimension to the average of tlie first lOi) 

 measured, and to the total average; therefore he may be taken To represent 

 the type of the Taytay population, if this constitutes a type. This man is 

 an Australoid with a cephalic index higher than usual, indicating some 

 Primitive influence or a slight dorsal flattening of the head. The head 

 outline is low in front but the front bombe is seen (tig. 3). The occijmt 

 neither bulges nor is it miicli flattened, the vertex is high, the glabella 

 prominent. Australoid and Primitive are botli represented, but Iberian 

 can not be excluded. 



The radio-humeral index is 67.8, the tibio-femoral is il4.2 and the 

 interniembral is 74, Negroid characteristics are lacking, btit Eurojjean 

 characteristics are in evidence. One can safely say that a typical Filipino 

 ( ?) of to-day is European rather than Negroid l)ut retains Primitive 

 characteristics. 



THE TAYTAYAN, THE ECROPEAX AND THE Nir.OTIC XEGRO. 



It may be of interest to compare the average linear dimensions of these 

 three groups of individuals to determine similarities and differences. 



The Nilotic Negroes were I'eeently measvired by the late Dr. Alexaiuter 

 MacTier Pivrie, and reported hy Dr. David Waterston ( ;i8) from the Anthrop- 

 ological Laboratory of Edinburgh University in 1!)(1S. Tlie Nilotic Negroes 

 include the whole native population "'extending from tlie western frontier of 

 Abyssinia across the Nile Valle_y, through the Barh-El-Gbazal region westwards 

 to the Central Niger, and from about 2I)I) miles xjuth of Kliaitouni. to ihe 

 northeastern shores of Lake Nvanza."
