slightly lower than tlie trochanter in the Igorots, but this may be due to 

 the heavy gluteal muscles and fascia lata occurring in these incessant 

 mountain climbers.

Here again as in the other measurements, the Bontoc is the greatest, 

 the Lowland least in absolute length, and the highland group is between 

 the two. These measurements represent the absolute length of the entire 

 lower extremity, and a glance at the next table will show that the rel- 

 ative length follows slightly the absolute length. Again there is the 

 similarity between the three groups of the Malay Peninsula ( 35 ) and the 



Igorots.

The lowland group again corresponds to the Senoi, the relative length 

 of the Bontoc lower extremity is almost identical with that of the Euro- 

 pean, and is less than that of the negro, but considerably more than the 

 Japanese. 



The women have absolutely and relatively shorter legs than the men of 

 the highlands, with whom they should always be compared, because they 

 belong to that group. 



The length of the leg-minus-foot is approximate because the ankle 

 height was obtained on but thirteen Igorots. However, the average of 

 even so small a number emphasizes a fact that I observed constantly, to 

 wit: The distance from the internal condyle to the sole of the foot i? 

 so short that it could with difficulty be measured, especially where the 

 surface of the ground on which the individuals stood was rugged. The 

 ankle height is similar to the hand length, especially in so far as the 

 shortness is more pronounced in the highland and lowland group than in 

 the Bontoc.
