few to permit generalization. The group is platyrhinian for the greater part, four only being mesorhinian. On the whole this is a very homogeneous group of men. With two exceptions all are of about the same low stature, all mesaticephalic, all platyrhinian or nearly so. The hair of all is black, coarse, and straight, the body smooth and face as well, except that the men of Karao had a few mustache and chin hairs and seemed to be more hairy on the legs than the others. The profile of the nose was much alike in all, a straight short bridge, rounding bluntly at the end. The brows were rather prominent, especially in the Karao men. In the same month I measured two men of Bugias, Benguet, and four of Suyok, Lepanto, all of whom were "Kankanay." These measurements were as follows: Stature Arm-reach Cephalic Index Nasal Index 1452 1490 75.3 100.0 1470 1545 78.8 88.6 1518 1577 79.2 95.0 1621 1676 78.8 97.8 1558 1554 72.8 92.6 1571 1591 81.0 83.0 These men are all of low stature, long armed, all platyrhinian, but having a very varying head-shape, one being dolichocephalic (head length 195, breadth 142, and index 72.8), and one brachycephalic, 81. On the same trip, at Benawi, I measured ten Ifugao men. All were adult, well formed, and of the laboring or "polista" class. Their measures are as follows: Height Cephalic Index [3] Nasal Index [3] 1465 71.00 85 1501 71.65 93 1530 74.00 95 1534 76.50 97 1556 76.90 100 1567 77.26 100 1579 77.80 106 1581 79.60 106 1600 80.40 118 1606 83.50 119 The mean height and the amount of variation are almost exactly the same as those found in Benguet. All but two are of "short" stature, while one approaches that of a Negrito. The head index is generally mesaticephalic, but three are dolichocephalic and two brachycephalic, the amount o
