our camp he almost startled us with the brutality of his appearance. He was promptly dubbed the "Gorilla." His arm-reach was 1672, his head length 197, breadth 147, and index 74.6; his nose length 35, breadth 48, and index 140; his height and breadth of face were 179 and 139; width of shoulders 396; circumference of chest 880; of belly 810. His ears were greatly developed, his supraorbital arches most pronounced, and his whole appearance like a restoration of primitive man. He wore only a loin string and a deerskin knapsack, and was most extraordinarily blackened with dirt and the pitch from smoky fires. His intelligence seemed very low, but he was said to be married and to have two children. In May, 1908, I measured two Igorot men at Akop's place near Tublay, Benguet, four men of Karao at Bokod and six men of Kabayan. These, like the preceding, were all Nabaloi, although the people of Karao speak a somewhat different dialect and are allied to the "Busul"--wild, robbing Igorot of the high mountains between the Agno river valley and Nueva Vizcaya. The statures and cephalic and nasal indices of these twelve men are given below: Stature Cephalic Index [2] Nasal Index [2] 1467 74.1 79.4 1508 74.2 85.1 1511.5 74.3 86.3 1529 75.2 87.6 1541 75.6 88.3 1550 76.0 92.0 1565 76.0 92.1 1572 76.2 93.7 1591 76.4 100.0 1602 78.1 100.0 1648 78.4 100.0 1681 79.7 100.0 The stature of these men is "short," about the same mean as that of other Igorot given above. Two, however, belong to Topinard's "above medium" statures, being 1648 and 1681. These are unusually tall Igorot and it may be worth noting that both belong to the wealthy or "baknang" class. The taller is "Belasco" of Kabayan and the other "Akop" of Tublay. All are mesaticephalic and their indices cover the entire range of this class, 74 to 80. The most brachycephalic is "Belasco" and the next "Akop," the two of unusual stature. These men are less brachycephalic than the Igorot measured at Ambuklao and Kayapa, but the numbers in each case are too
