Robert B. Bean of the Bureau of Science, Manila,
has published the results of a study of the Igorots of Benguet. (The
Benguet Igorots: A Somatological Study of the Live Folk of Benguet
and Lepanto, Bontoc. Manila, 1908.) Dr Bean measured 104 adult males,
10 adult females, and 30 boys. The average stature of the men was
1540, which is about my own average; but he seems to have found a
maximum stature in Benguet of 1700, a very tall stature indeed and
unprecedented in my experience with this race. He also considers the
Igorot to be "essentially short armed." He found a very variable type
of head (hyperdolichocephaly to hyperbrachycephaly). The nose was
platyrhinian. Thus, in a general way, Dr Bean's results agree with
my own, although his measurements were carried out with many more
details than it appeared to me advisable to attempt. Our conclusions,
also, as to the origin and affiliations of the Igorot are far apart.

[5] The report of these people under different names has been the
cause of the belief that they were so many separate peoples. Professor
F. Blumentritt makes this mistake. "Versuch einer Ethnographie der
Philippinen," p. 33; "List of Native Tribes of the Philippines,"
translated in Smithsonian Report for 1899.

[6] A brief account of the people about Binatangan was published by
a missionary in 1891 in "El Correo Sino-Annamita," Vol. XXV. "Una
Visita a los Rancherias de Ilongotes" by Father Buenaventura Campa.

[7] Sibley was an American soldier from the 16th Infantry who deserted
in 1900, and lived for over four years, a renegade among these
people. He finally surrendered to Governor Curry, of Isabela province.

[10] The Ifugao are an Igorot people inhabiting the Kiangan region. All
the Igorot people practise, wherever possible, the burial of their
rich and important personages in caves and artificial grottos. Burial
caves occur in many places in the Philippines and have yielded a
large store of jars, skulls and ornaments.
