The Primitive, Modified Primitive and Adriatic enter largely into the 

 Blend and one is tempted to constitute this as a definite species^ embody- 

 ing the Primitive and Adriatic. Two important difEerential characters 

 that are Primitive in nature are noted : the high radio-humeral and tibio- 

 femoral indices, the latter 95.1 and the former 79.8. The close relation- 

 ship of the Taytayan Blend and the Primitive Morgue subject and 

 Primitive Student in these particulars is noteworth}^ The intermembral 

 index is also high, being 78.2, as against 71.2 for the Cro-Magnon of 

 Taytay. These three characters are jSTegroid or Ifegritie, and the in- 

 ference is that the IST'egrito forms a large part of the composition of the 

 Blend. 



A revievir of the Blends reveals 55 of the 94 that resemble the Primitive. 

 A similar review of the Igorots reveals 70 of the 104 that resemble the 

 Australoid. The contrast needs no comment. Among the Blends there 

 'are also 10 that resemble the Iberian, 7 the Australoid, 5 the Modified 

 Primitive, and 5 the Adriatic ; the remainder are Alpine and B. B. B., 

 and among these some Cro-Magnon that resemble the Iberian. 



It is true that the majority among the Igorot Blends resemble the 

 Piimitive so that a similarity exists between the two peoples in this res- 

 pect, but the differences between the groups are otherwise considerable. 



The differences are slight when compared with the Blends of the 

 Morgue subjects and the students. The stature of the student is greater, 

 and the intermembral index of the morgue subject is less, but otherwise 

 the Blends of all three form a somewhat stable composite that may be 

 called a 'species. This species would be characterized by small stature, 

 and would be brachycephalic, messorrhian, mesoprosopic, mesomphalic, 

 with Negritic limb parts. All the characteristics are more Primitive than 

 otherwise, the indications point to a dominating influence for the Primi- 

 tive, and the Blend truly represents a Modified Primitive. The Adriatic 

 and Modified Primitive will not be treated because of the small number 

 of each and the Blend may be taken in their place as having absorbed
