d in one case the face is somewhat prognathic. The lips are thick and the under lip heavy. In several cases the supraorbital arches are prominent. On September 29th of the same year, at Wagan, a small town in Kayapa, I measured fifteen Igorot of that town and of Losod. Eight were women and seven were men. The measurements and indices of these follow: Stature Arm-reach Cephalic Index Nasal Index Men 1413 1478 78.7 125.0 1493 1539 80.4 86.4 1512 1544 82.7 84.0 1550 1600 78.9 90.7 1589 1650 73.2 90.9 1594 1650 78.8 100.0 1653 1672 74.6 140.0 Women 1351 1376 85.1 92.6 1367 1394 76.7 92.7 1423 1467 79.1 100.0 1433 1466 76.8 105.7 1435 1455 84.8 125.3 1435 1522 82.6 100.0 1442 1446 84.6 100.0 1509 1520 74.4 100.0 The mean stature (1550) and the average (1526) were a little higher than in Benguet. In every case the arm-reach exceeded the height. The shape of head in men and women shows a wide variation. Seven are brachycephalic and seven are mesaticephalic while one is dolichocephalic (73.2). The nasal index varies from 84 to 140--a truly astonishing series of noses! All are platyrhinian except two, and nine of the sixteen have indices of 100 or over. The descriptive characters were much the same as for the Benguet group. There was occasional marked supraorbital development, retreating chin, and prognathism. Two of the men deserve special remark. One was the very small fellow--a true pigmy (1413 mm.). He was named "Mokyao" and was born in Wagan. He suggested the Negrito in stature, in arm-reach (65 mm. in excess of stature), in nasal index (125), and in the slightly wavy quality of his hair. His head, however, was mesaticephalic (78.7). The other was the Igorot of unusually tall stature, 1653 mm., and he was the most extraordinary savage I have ever seen. He was about 30 years old, named "Ngaao," a native of Wagan.
