»Topinard(64)- 



The eyes of the Bontoc are the narrowest and they are also more 

 widely separated than those of the others (70). Those of the highland 

 groui) are the widest and they are also the closest together, while the 

 lowland is between the other two in eye width and the inter-eye distance. 

 The eyes of the women are narrower than those of the men, but the same 

 distance apart as the group to which they belong. 



The artistic conception of the European eye is that it should be equal 

 in width to the distance between the two eyes, and the artists add that 

 the mouth should be one and one-half times the eye in width of opening. 

 The Igorots have a smaller mouth and greater distance between the 

 eyes than the artistic ideal for the European ( 63 ) . 



FACIAl ANGLE. 



The facial angle is determined directly with two brass bars bolted together at 

 one end. One bar is placed in line with the external auditory meatus, the other 

 with the glabella, and the apex of the triangle is opposite the point covering 

 the junction of the nasal septum and the upper lip (subnasal point). This is 

 not so accurate as the facial angle of the skull, and minor differences are not 

 to be detected by this method, but it affords an approximate angle with ease and 

 facility. 



The facial angle of the Bontoc Igorots is not measured, but that of the Highland 

 and Lowland Igorots is given with that of the women and of the boys.
