III. FILIPINO TYPES: RACIAL ANATOMY IN TAYTAY. 



417 



The mean stature of 37 Australoids of Taytay is 158.0 centimeters, 

 the cephalic index is 78 and the nasal index 93.3. The morphologic 

 face index is 82.3, the omphalic index is 41.4, the radio-humeral index 

 is 70.4, the tibio-femoral index is 97.3 and the intermembral index is 

 72.9. Compared with the Primitive, the stature is greater, the head is 

 narrower, the nose is wider, the face is higher, the umbilicus is lower, 

 the forearm is shorter, the Icwer leg is longer, and the lower extremity 

 is shorter. The form is intei-mediate in general, between the Primitive 

 and the Iberian. 



The stature of the Australoids of Taytay is 0.7 centimeters less than 

 that of the ]\Iorgue Australoids, 11.5 centimeters greater than that of 

 the Igorots, 2.9 centimeters less than that of the students, 5.75 centi- 

 meters less than the Japanese previously measured. The cephalic and 

 nasal indices of all groups are practically identical — dolichocephalic or 

 slighl'ly mesoceph'alic, and platyrrhine — except that of the Igorots who 

 are franldy dolichocephalic, and markedly platyn-hine. The Igorots are 

 the primary Australoids, whereas the other groups contain Blends that 

 simulate them^ and represent recent mixtures of the Filipino Iberian 

 and Primitive, both of which are somewhat blended. 



The physiognomy of the primary Australoid resembles that of the 

 Senoi, the Acta, the Battak, the Veddah, and the ' Indian of Peru, as 

 given by Hagen, whereas the physiognomy of the secondary Australoid 

 represents distorted Primitive and Iberian. For purposes of comparison 

 the Iberian will be described next.

The stature of 17 Iberians is 160.7 centimeters, the cephalic index is 

 76.2 and the nasal index is 78.5. The omphalic index is 42.9, the mor- 

 phologic face index is 84.8, the radio-humeral index is 70.8, the tibio- 

 iemoral index is 94.2, and the intermembral index is 72.5. Comparing 

 this with the Australoid and Primitive, it may be said that the Prim-
