and possibly the recent and remote Australoid. The Iberian varieties 

 are differentiated by the ear form, the Modified Primitive and 

 Adriatic are enlarged and differentiated editions of the Primitive, 

 and the two Australoid varieties differ form each other only in 

 stature and minor characteristics. 



Studies of disease in relation to species indicate a strong 

 probability that the Filipino Iberian and its varieties are more 

 susceptible to tuberculosis as well as other forms of disease in the 

 Philippines than are the other species and their varieties. For 

 this reason and others it is probable that the European types of the 

 Iberian varieties will ultimately disappear from the Philippines, 

 leaving only the original forms and composites of these with the 

 Iberian varieties in the form of mosaics such as the Alpine, B. B. B. 

 and also blended forms that at present constitute about one-half of 

 the population of the Philippines. 



The Classification of ear forms extends not only to the Filipinos 

 but it applies to all mankind so far observed by the author, with 

 minor differences. Similar ear forms appear on Spaniards, English- 

 men, Americans (white), Chinese, Negroes, East Indians and Fili- 

 pinos, although each group has minor distinguishing characteristics. 



The Negroes have not been studied so carefully and fully as the 

 other groups, therefore conclusions as to their ear form must be 

 reserved for the future, although the typical Negro ear similar to 

 the one published by Hrdlißkain his study of white and colored 

 children of New York is present on some Negroes, and all the Iberian 

 types are to be seen, with Primitive, Australoid and modified forms. 



The Primitive and Iberian are the purest forms among the 

 Filipinos, with many other forms more or less intermediate between 

 them. 



The English, Chinese, and American(white) ears are apparently 

 more blended than the others, an indication of the fusion of man}'' 

 types now in the process of amalgamation, or eise an indication of 

 the breaking away from the original Iberian and Primitive and 

 the production of new forms, with the retention of characters of 

 the original but with new characters different from them. The 

 Chinese have more of the Primitive, the English have more of the 

 Iberian, and the Americans have more of the intermediate or blen- 

 ded forms. 



The Primitive and the Iberian ears are two of the fundamental 

 forms of mankind, and their union in varying proportions produces 

 different sets of types in different populations. 



It appears from my studies that the ear form is one of the 

 most stable characteristics of man, because the same form is found 

 in diverse groups and on diverse individuals where the pigmen- 

 tation, hair texture, stature and other characteristics are entirely 

 differen.
