THE IliKRIAX 11 EAK I (_ HO-MAGNON ) . 



This ear is so well illustrated in Plates IX and X that it needs no 

 description. It is the long ear previously portraj'ed and described as 

 the Cro-Magnon (G). Its leading characteristics are the large pendant 

 lobule^ large open concha somewliat everted, and straight external mai-gin 

 of the helix. 



The ear appears pure or mixed on 20 Blends, 7 Iberians, G Australoids, 

 4- Alpine, 3 Cro-Magnons and 1 B. B. B. Xone of the individuals with 

 relatively pure type ears are tall, and only two are aljove medium height, 

 but 4: are below medium height and 7 are small. This is therefore not a 

 Cro-Magnon physique, but an Iberian. The individuals with Iljerian C 

 ears resemble the Cro-Magnon in size more than those with Iberian D 

 ears. The Cro-Magnon ear has become disseminated apparently among 

 the Iberian types to such an extent as to lose its identity ; and for this 

 reason it can not be located and described. However, at rare intervals 

 an ear appears that is similar to that shown in -figure 12 of tbe monograpli 

 on Filipino Ears (6), and also to that in jSTo. 3202 in Plate VII and Xo. 

 14964 in Plate X of the same paper, in which the ear is long and resembles 

 the Iberian D; but its position is almost at right angles to the liead, the 

 lobule is not pendant, and the helix is much inrolled with everted concha. 

 This was named the Cro-Magnon, but, as may be recognized, the char- 

 acters are largely Iberian, and most frequently appear in association with 

 one or another Iberian type. 



THE IBERIAN B EAE. 



Tliis type is r&ve, and a doubtful entity, although a similar ear form 

 has been seen on at least 3 men in Manila recently: one a German, one 

 an Englishman, and one a Filipino. The ear stands straight from the 

 upper part of the base, and the helix tends to roll over above, giving a 

 drooping appearance. Otherwise, the ear is similar to the Iberian A in 

 form. The individuals have very long heads, small stature, and their 

 l^hysiognomy is characteristic. The nose is aquiline, the lips are full, 

 the eyes are large and wide open. One hesitates to assign this ear to 

 the Iberian or to designate it as a specific form, and future investigations 

 may clear up its relationships. For the present it remains Iberian E, 

 and may be seen in modified form in Plate XII. 



THE ALPINE EAR. 



This ear, unfortunately, does not appear on a single individual of the 

 Alpine species, and occurs only twice in relative purity, the two in- 

 dividuals being Australoids. The ear is found on 9 Blends. 7 Australoids, 

 and 1 each Cro-Magnon, Iberian, Primitive, and Modified Primitive. The 

 ear in absolute purity was not seen once in Taytay, but was ])reseut only 

 in modified form resembling the Primitive, as may be seen in Plate XIII. 

 This confirms previous observations. However, as the study of this ear
