III. FILIPINO TYPES: RACIAL ANATOMY IN TAYTAY. 377 



same condition is found among the Taytaj'ans where a low index pertains 

 to some types and a high index to others. One ISTegro had an index of 

 more than 100, and one or more among the Taj'ta3'ans have lilce indices. 



The radio-humeral index is greater for the Negroes than for the 

 others, because of their great forearm length. The Taytayan, because 

 of the great upper arm length, is more distantly removed from the 

 Negro by this index than by any other factor of the limb measurements. 



The intermembral index puts the Taytayan intermediate l3etween the 

 extremes of the Negroes and separates them from the Europeans. 



The Negroes, except one group, have longer arms in relation to their 

 leg length than the European. 



After all is said, one must admit that in the limb parts the differences 

 that separate the three peoples are not great except in the long forearm 

 of the Negro and the long upper arm of the Taytayan. 



"We now arrive at a consideration of the artistic canon of the Taytayan 

 from the measurements that already have been discussed. 



ARTISTIC CANON. 



For the purpose of comparing the Taytayan with the European from 

 the standpoint of the artist, the canon of rritsch(30) (p. 197) is used 

 in the same way in which it was used for the Igorots(3) (p. 4-51). The 

 length of the vertebral column as represented by the distance from the 

 symphysis pubis to the nasal spine is taken as the base line, and all other 

 linear dimensions are given in relation to that. A glance at the chart (fig. 

 4) will show that the total head height, the length of the upper and the 

 length of the lower extreraities are greater in the Taytayan than in the 

 European. Compared with the Normal Benguet Igorot, and the Igorot 

 from Bontoc(3) (p. 452), the Taj'tayan is similar to both, and the pro- 

 tomorphic characters are evident in the long arms and the long total 

 head height. According to Stratz (p. 204), the total head height varies 

 with the stature, and a stature of 160 centimeters corresponds to a total 

 head height of 33 centimeters. The stature of the Taytayans is 159.47 

 centimeters and the total head height is 23 centimeters. 



HEAD FORM AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 



The mean head length of 1S2 Taytayans is 18.30 centimeters and the 

 mean head breadth is 14.96 centimeters with the resulting cephalic index 

 of 81.79. This would be altered if the diameters of the head are reduced 

 by 1 centimeter each as an allowance for the thickness of the extra- 

 cranial tissues. The cephalic index of the skull would thereby be 80.7, 

 a frankly brachycephalic skull, bnt very close to mesocephaly. 



The cephalic index of the head is 4.19 points greater than that of 

 the Igorots, and about as great as the greatest of Martin's Malays (IS) 

 (p. 344), which vary froia 76.4 to 82.4.
