itive and Iberiau have blended to pnxluee tlie Australoid in stature, 

 face height and width; tlie broad nose of tlie Primitive has been retained 

 and is somewhat broader; and the cephalic index and limb and body 

 measurements of the Iberian have been retained to some extent. The 

 tibio-femoral index of the Australoid is greater than that of the Iberian 

 or Primitive. 



'Jlie statm'e of the Iberian of Taytay is but little less than that of 

 the student Iberian, or the Iberian of Malecon Morgue, and is the same 

 as the Japanese Il)erian. The cephalic index is pi'actieally the same in 

 all groups although the Japanese are sliglitly more dolichocephalic than 

 the others. The nasal index is also about the same in all the groups, 

 although the -5 Morgue males have an index of only 08.14, but the flare 

 of the nostrils may not be so great in death as in life, which may account 

 for this. 



The fact is significant that the Iberian is present in all the groups of 

 Littoral Filipinos so far oliserved, and is also found among the .Japanese 

 and Igorots. It can easily be accounted for among the Filipinos, through 

 recent European (Spanish) immigrants, but an earlier migration from 

 Europe must have occurred to have impregnated the Japanese and 

 Igorots. The alternative is that the Iberian is a fundament of primary 

 man and is found as an element in all the groups. Keane's hypothesis 

 of the eastward migration of the early Europeans explains their presence 

 in the heart of Luzon and in .Japan. A northern branch reached these 

 Islands, while the main hody pushed on through the central Pacific to 

 Hawaii. This is substantiated by a study of the ears of the natives 

 throughout the Philippines, which has been undertaken and will be 

 rapidly prosecuted. 



For the purpose of illustrating the different Iberians, examine Plates 

 I, and VII to XII. The different Iberian types will he discussed when 

 the ears are described. 



The sagittal outlines of two Iberian's heads are seen in fig. 14, and 

 the two are almost identical. One, however, is slightly flattened in the 

 occipital region. (See also fig. 12.) These outlines may be studied 

 best by comparison with the outlines of the heads of two Primitive Blends 

 in fig. 10. The forehead of the Iberian is almost vertical, that of the 

 Blend is bombe; the occipital region of the Iberian is full and rounded, 

 that of the Blend is vertical and flat; the parietal region of the Iberian 

 is well rounded, whereas that of the Blend is prominent and bulging; 

 the bregmatie region of the Iberian is almost flat, whereas that of the 

 Blend bulges, especially in the superior frontal region. There is evident 

 distortion by flattening in the occipital region of the Blends, but the 

 Iberians appear to be normal in this particular, although one is slightl_y 

 flattened.
