nostrils, its very small stature and low onijjhalic index represents not 

 one type bnt two. Compared with Martin's Senoi it shows many similar- 

 ities, and when the two are compared with t^^pe N, the Senoi appears as 

 if it were a blend of type A and type K". In stature the Senoi is between 

 A and IST, but nearer tlie latter than the former.

The cephalic index of the Senoi is exactly intermediate between the other two. 

 The nasal index is less than either of the others, and is nearer N than A. The 

 relative arm length of the Senoi is between the two, but nearer A than N. The 

 relative leg length of the Senoi is greater than either of the others, but this may 

 be due to a difference in methods of measurement. JIartin used the pubic height 

 and I the trochanter height. The relative forearm length of the Senoi is less 

 than the other two, but the brachial index is in between and nearer A than N. 



These standard measurements place the Senoi in a somewhat inter- 

 mediate position between type A and the Negrito. The hair of the 

 Senoi is frequently wavy, which is an additional indication of Negrito 

 l)lood. The Senoi of Martin (4'^) has a characteristic Negrito ear. The 

 position of the Senoi in the Malay Peninsula, between the Seniang 

 (Negrito) of the north and the Malay of the south would indicate that 

 they represent a mixed race, the result of the blending of two others." 

 Martin has unconsciously revealed a new race which is not the Senoi, but 

 enters into their composition and is the same as t3^)e A. 



Skeat and Bladgen(54) find three races in the Malay Peninsula: Semang, 

 classed as Negrito; Sakai, or Senoi who are dolichocephalic, wavy-haired, and 

 taller than the Semang, but have been modified by the Semang on one side and 

 the JIalay on the other, the latter people constituting the third race. The Sakai 

 maj- be regarded as Dravidian, and so allied to the Veddahs of Ceylon, or as 

 related to tribes in the interior of Camboge. 



Martin associates the Senoi with the Veddahs, and the latter are closely 

 related to the Igorots. The average stature of the Veddahs i.s 153.3, of the 

 Igorots 154. The Veddahs are ortho-dolichocephalic, the Igorots, hypsi-doliclm- 

 cephalie. The nose and face of the Veddahs are not so wide as the Igorot'.'*. 

 and the arms are 47 per cent of the body length, while the Igorot's are but 44 

 per cent. The Veddahs have straight or wavy hair, while the Igorot hair is 

 almost invariably straight, although an occasional wa\w-haired individual may be 

 found (71). 



" Dr. Barrows, Director of Education, who has made an extensive and intensive 

 study of the Filipino peoples, tells me that the tliree types described by Martin 

 are to be found in different localities in the Philippine Islands, and represent 

 the Negrito, the Malay, and a blend of the two.
