III. FILIPINO TYPES: RACIAL ANATOMY IN TAYTAY. 431 



THE IBERIAK B EAB. 



The Iberian B is the most distinct of all the Iberian ears, and probably 

 represents the true type. When it appears on an individual it is clear 

 cut, as a rule, indicating a lack of blending, or it may be that the other 

 Iberian ears are blends, whereas this is the original type. The ear is 

 well illustrated in Plate ^""111 of the jjresent work and in Plate IX of the 

 Filipino Ears (6). The description given in that paper can hardly be 

 more exact. The eversion of the concha, the direct attachment of the 

 lobule to the cheeks with the absence of the lobule, and the peculiar spiral 

 twist as seen from any point are unmistakable and emphasize the ear as a 

 most distinct type. 



It is found pure or impure on 1:3 Blends, 7 Australoids, 2 Iberians 

 and 1 Alpine. Its numbers are relatively small compared with the other 

 Iberians. The 4 individuals in which the ear is comparatively pure are 

 all Blends with small stature ; they are mesorrhinean and brachycephalic, 

 but three of them have tlie fiat occiput that is probably due to distortion ; 

 therefore the heads would probably have been dolichocephalic with the 

 absence of the dorsal flattening, the Blends thus becoming Iberians. 



The ear is frequently associated with the Iberian C ear which is ap- 

 parently a modified form of the Iberian B. 



THE IBEEIAN C EAR (iGOKOT). 



This ear resembles the Igorot ear because it has a square inferior 

 margin without lobule, but it is smaller, more slender, and the lower 

 margin is narrow, whereas that of the Igorots is broad. Undoubtedly 

 this form of ear is present among the Igorots and could readily be 

 mistaken for the Igorot ear, but the above-mentioned qualities differen- 

 tiate it. The Iberian C also resembles a form of Chinese ear, except that 

 the latter stands almost at right angles to the head, whereas this form 

 does not. The Iberian C ear is small, slender and delicately molded, and 

 either stands close to the head or flares very little. The lobule is absent, 

 and in its place the lower part of the ear is square, joining the cheek at 

 right angles. It occurs more or less pure on 22 Blends, 7 Australoids, 

 6 Cro-Magnons, 5 Iberians, 4 Alpines and 1 Primitive : 45 times in all. 



The relatively pure Iberian C ear appears on 5 Cro-Magnons, 4 Blends, 

 and 1 Alpine. Two of these individuals are small, 2 are below medium 

 height, 4 are above medium height, and 2 are tall. Three heads are 

 decidedly ilat behind, which, were the flattening absent, would remove 

 the individuals from the group of Blends to the Iberian. The middle 

 figure in Plate III and in Plate VI of the monograph on the Igorots (3) 

 shows Iberian C ears.
