BEAN. 



The Alpine is probably a mixture of Primitive and Iberian in whicli 

 the head form of the Primitive is retained with the physiognomy and 

 stature of the Iberian. The nose is even more leptorrhine than the 

 Iberian and the morphologic face index is between that of the Primitive 

 and Iberian hiit nearer the latter. Further observations on the ear are 

 convincing and will be discussed further on in the present work. . 



The Alpine is therefore the complement of the Australoid which is 

 supposed to represent the mixtui'e of Primitive and Iberian in which the 

 head form is Iberian and the physiognomy Primitive. This confirms in 

 a measure the suggestion that human types conform to tomato hybrids 

 suggested in a previous pajDer on Manila Stiidents.

The evident characteristics of this species are stature slightly above the 

 average, relatively short lower legs and short upper arms, low omphalic 

 index, very narrow nose, and very long face with slightly brachycephalic 

 head. 



The species is fairly well illustrated in Plates XIV and XV, and in 

 Plate I in the full figure on the right. It conforms in actual dimensions 

 to the Students and Morgue subjects of the same species. The head 

 outline is given in fig. 16 in contrast with the head outline of an Alpine. 



As previously noted, this species is a large edition of the Alpine, but the 

 two are different in many ways. It seems to be a combination of Alpine 

 and Iberian. If the Alpine is a result of Iberian and Primitive blending, 

 the two species, Alpine and B. B. B., are derived from the Primitive and 

 Iberian by a process of crossing and re-crossing. Be-crossing the Primi- 

 tive and Alpine, should produce a species similar to the Alpine but more 

 like the Primitive, and such a species is the Blend — at least that part of 

 it tliat resembles the Primitive.
