Martin's groups have longer faces below the ej'es than the Igorots. 

 The lowland is more like the Eeine Senoi than are the Bontoc and 

 higliland groups, which diverge from the other Malays. This may be 

 explained on the assumption that the Bontoc and highland groups have 

 greater European intermixture.

The disparity between the groups is marked. Again, if the type of 

 dolichocephalic Igorots with very wide noses be eliminated, the disparity 

 is diminished. 



The Malays of the inland part of the peninsula according to Martin 

 are mesocephalic with one group brachycephalie ; hypsi to orthocephalie ; 

 brachyfacial to mesofacial; and inesorhinian to platyrhinian. The Igo- 

 rots are mesocephalic and dolichocephalic; hypsicephalic ; brachyfacial; 

 and platyrhine. They are also slightly prognathous. 



V. DESCRIPTIVE CHARACTERS. 



The skin of the Igorot is characteristically light brown, but the tint 

 varies with individuals and it is different in different families (72, 73). 

 The influence of light and shade may be noticed ; those who work in the 

 sun are darker than those who serve in the house and the women and 

 the children are lighter than the men. The whole family of one chief, 

 including several young men and women who stay indoors a great deal 

 is so light brown in color as to be classed as yellow. In a few individuals
