THE BENGUBT IGOKOTS.

form, but if so it is none the less definite, and as much a distinct type 

 as either of the others. I am inclined to believe that this is one of the 

 primitive forms from which the Igorots are derived, because of the broad 

 nose, short stature, and long, low head which associate this type with the 

 australoid peoples. 



It will be necessary to compare the average Igorot with the three 

 selected types in order to determine to which the Igorot is more closely 

 related. 



The truest anthropomorphic characters should be contrasted to show 

 this; therefore stature, cephalic index, nasal index, relative forearm 

 length, brachial index, and omphalic index are selected for comparison.

The average Igorot resembles N more than. M or A in stature, nasal index, 

 and omphalic index, but is more like M and A in cephalic index, relative forearm 

 length- and brachial index, in which M and A are nearly alike. If M, A, and N" 

 each have had an equal influence in the composition of the average Igorot, then 

 the average of the three should equal the average Igorot. If these two averages 

 are different then the direction of the average M, A, N away from the average 

 Igorot, and toward one or the other of the individual types, will indicate the 

 direction of greatest influence. For instance, the average Igorot nasal index is 

 92.7 and the average nasal index of M, A, N is 94.4 which is nearer the nasal 

 index of N than of M or of A. Therefore, the influence of N on the nasal index 

 has been stronger than both of the other types. The same is not true of the 

 stature, cephalic index and omphalic index for the averages are the same, hence 

 the influence of each is equal. The influence of type N, however, has been greater 

 than the other types in the relative forearm length and the brachial index. The 

 average Igorot, therefore, has been molded in his makeup more by type N" than 

 by the others, at least in nasal index, relative forearm lengtli, and brachial index. 



Type E" resembles the Kegrito of the Philippines more closely than it 

 resembles any other people and is clearly related to it, if not an, actual 

 prototype. The Negrito (48) ig brachyeephalic, type IST is brachycephalic. 

 The Negrito is platyrhine, type N is platyrhine. The Negrito has rela- 

 tively long arms, type N has relatively long arms and forearms too. 

 The average Negrito stature is less than 150 centimeters. That of type 

 N is 149.5 centimeters. The hair of the Negrito is kinlcy, but that of 

 type N is straight. 



Type M is related to the European in so many ways as to leave no 

 doubt of its origin.
