" The index should be reduced from 0.5 to 2 points to equal the skull index. 



The Igorots are more dolichocephalic than the eastern Asiatic peojDle, 



but less so than the tribes of India. The Bontoc and Highland -; — — — 



length 



index is dolichocephalic and slightly mesocephalic and the Lowland is 

 mesocephalic. The women have the same ^j — -jr- index as the men 



and the :; — ^— index is similar to the -; p^ in its relationships, but

the women are less high headed than the men. The Bontoc and liigh- 



land groups are higher headed than any other people of the Malay 



Peninsula or of eastern Asia, except the southern Perak Malays(l) 



who are four points higher. 



As the Lowland Igorots, who are largely brachycephalic, have low 



heads and the Bontoc Igorots who are dolichocephalic have high heads, 



it is to be presumed that dolichocephalic, or long heads, are high, and 



brachycephalic, or short heads, are low. However, the reverse is kno\\Ti 



to be true, although when I first noticed the group variations, I thought 



the Igorots might be different in tliis respect from other people, but 



comparing the ^; pp' index of the head with the -^ — —■ the result is
