NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 577 



Drs. Woodworth and Bruner said, As many as possible of 

 the racial groups represented at the Exposition were measured 

 The best material was found among the Philippine Islanders, 

 of whom about 700 were measured. The Christianized tribes, 

 such as the Tagalog, Pampango, Ilocano, Bicol, Visaya, were 

 found very uniform in physical type. Measurements showed 

 no clear evidence of differentiation among them. The average 

 height of the several tribes differed but little from 161 cm., 

 the cephalic index differs little from 83, etc. The Moros of 

 Mindanao also are practically identical in physical type with 

 the Christian tribes. The pagan Igorots and Bagobos seem 

 to differ considerably from this type, especially in height, which 

 is about 155 cm.; while the Negritos were clearly marked off 

 from all the rest by their kinky hair, small stature (144 cm.), 

 broad nose, and small head in proportion to stature.
