a tinge of red may be seen, or the face appears bronzed, some Igorots 

 strikingly resembling the North American Indian. The coloring shows 

 a trend towards lightness rather than the reverse, and this is manifested 

 most strongly among the Bontocs.

The relative number of browm individuals increases in the Highland 

 and reaches its limit in the Lowland. The lightest colored individuals 

 are found in the highlands. The one golden-brown individual of the 

 loM'lands is a young man who for several years has been a servant in an 

 American family, where he worked principally indoors and wore the 

 regular European clothes of the Tropics. 



The hair is invariably black, straight, and coarse. A few individuals 

 with wavy hair were observed, but not one of those measured had a 

 noticeable wave in the hair. This is remarkable when one considers 

 how closely the Igorot resembles the Negrito in other characters. I 

 can account for the predominance of the straight hair in one way only — 

 it is dominant to the kinky hair of the Negrito, and in the course of 

 centuries the kink has disappeared leaving onlj' an occasional trace, 

 such as the few wavy-haired individuals I observed casually, and those 

 noticed by Jenks(20) among the Bontoc Igorots ('1). The wavy-haired 

 individuals probably belong to the Senoi type of Martin. 



The brows of the Igorots are never so beetling, and the brow ridges 

 never so prominent as among the Filipinos of the coasts and other parts 

 of the Islands. However, there is a slight difference of the size of the 

 superciliary ridges among the Igorots which may be presented in three 

 groups, small, medium, and large.
