if the heads that are flattened dorsally could be made natural, some of 

 the individuals of these types would be Iberians. This is indicated by the 

 relatively large number that have Iberian ears. 



Therefore I would alter the terminology of the species of some indi- 

 viduals where the ear type is significant. This is done in the table of 

 indices in the first column (Table II, pp. 390-397) by i^lacing in 

 parenthesis the alteration. The species, as selected by the three factors, 

 cephalic index, nasal index, and stature, is placed first in this column, 

 after which in parenthesis, come the true species as determined by a con- 

 sideration of the ear form and other characteristics. 



The miml)er of individuals in each species becomes altered as shown in 

 the following table :

Altered classification 



1 











In the original classification, the number of individuals constituting 

 the Blend exceeds that of all the species combined, which was obviously 

 too great a number in so mixed a population. The altered classification 

 reduces the Blends more than one-half by placing a large niimber of them 

 with the Iberian, Primitive and Modified Primitive. The other species 

 remain practically unaltered except the ,B. B. B., which is increased by 

 two individuals, thus doubling the former number. This is a more exact 

 classification and represents real conditions. 



The Taytayans would therefore be placed in the scheme for heredity (3) 

 between 2 and 3 under Spurious Mendelism, and they would be nearer 

 2 than 3 because the number of species greatly exceeds the number of 

 Blends, and at least two species, the Iberian and the Primiti^•e, are 

 relativel]'' pure. 



In concluding the discussion of the ear form, it may not be out of place 

 to criticize the types selected by Polkmar and presented in his Album 

 of Philippine Types (11). The majority of them are Blends with evident 

 Iberian characteristics, but many of them are sufficiently pure in type to 

 be classified as species exactly by their ear fonm. 



Plate 56 of Folkmar, represents a typical Primitive with a typical 

 Primitive ear. This is a Visayan with a stature of 11:8.5 centimeters, a 

 cephalic index of 92.17 and a nasal index of 91.49. The head has the 

 flat occipital region said to be characteristic of the Malay, and this 

 probably accounts for the high cephalic index. The ear presents the 

 double roll aspect so often seen in the Primitive, caused by the helix and 

 concha lying close together. 



The N'egrito-Tagalog, in Plate 76 of Polkmar, has Modified Primitive
