are given of hair, brows, e3'es, ears, nose, and skin, with occasional 

 sketches. 



Measurements and observations are made on the naked body of 

 each individual, except the women, the usual breech clout not interfering 

 at all. Some difficulty is experienced in obtaining one measurement, that 

 of the superior extremity of the great trochanter of the femur, due to 

 the solidity and rigidity of the hip muscles as the individual stands in tlie 

 erect posture. 



My measurements of the Igorots follow the jjersonal instructions 

 which I received from Professor Manouvrier in Paris during the smn- 

 nier of 1906, and I wish at this time to express my gratitude for the 

 painstaking care exercised by him through the course of my training. 

 The methods employed have been used by me during the past two years, 

 and as they will apply to future work on the natives of the Philippine 

 Islands, a brief resume of the most important is inserted here. 



The individual should stand in the position of a soldier(67). Projections are 

 then made with the anthropometer as follows, v.sing the level of the soles of the
