opological Institute_, vol. 12, pp. 72 and 73).
Semang
Sturdily built (Haddon, _Races of Man, &c._, p. 9).
Aetas
Well formed and sprightly (Earle, _Papuans_, p. 123), and with
limbs which, corresponding to their stature, are uncommonly
slender, but well formed (Semper, _Journal of Anthropology_ for
October, 1870, p. 135). Well-built little men with broad chests,
symmetrical limbs, and well-developed muscles (Reed, _Negritos
of Zambales,_ p. 34).
Dutch New Guinea dwarfs
Of sturdy build (Rawling, _Geographical Journal_, vol. 38, p. 241).
Mafulu
Fairly strong and muscular, but rather slender and slight in
development.
_Cephalic Index._
Andamanese 82
This is Dr. Haddon's figure (_Races of Man, &c._,
p. 9). Messrs. Skeat and Blagden say they are decidedly
brachycephalic (_Pagan Races, &c._, p. 573).
Semang 78.9
Dr. Haddon's figure (_Races of Man, &c._, p. 9). Skeat and Blagden
describe them as brachycephalic to mesatecephalic (_Pagan Races,
&c._, p. 34).
Aetas 80
Dr. Haddon's figure (_Races of Man, &c._, p. 9). Skeat and Blagden
describe them as decidedly brachycephalic (_Pagan Races, &c._,
p. 573). Reed gives 82 as the average (_Negritos of Zambales_,
p. 34).
Dutch New Guinea dwarfs 80.2
This figure is calculated by me from the actual length and breadth
given by Captain Rawling (_Geographical Journal_, vol. 38, p. 245).
Mafulu 80
_Nasal Index._
Andamanese ?
Semang 101
Calculated by me from average of actual measurements of 5 people
given by Skeat and Blagden (_Pagan Races, &c._, p. 577).
Aetas ?
Reed records highly varying indices, the bulk of which were
hyperplatyrhine (87.9-108.8), and nearly all the others of which
were ultraplatyrhine (109 and over) (_Negritos of Zambales_,
pp. 34, 35).
Dutch New Guinea dwarfs 80.9
Calculated by me from Captain Rawling's actual figures.
Mafulu 84.3
_Colour of Skin._
Descriptions of this are so general, and so much depends in each case
upon the relative meanings attached by each writer to the terms used
by him, that I prefer to depend as regards the Andamanese, Semang,
and Aetas upon Dr. Haddon's descriptions, which are doubtless based
upon his comparison of those given in previous literature.
