luences, so that they are much less affected than those of other
districts. For this reason we shall, in this paper, use Cibolan as a
type settlement, but where radical differences occur in other districts
they will be noted.

PHYSICAL TYPE.[6]

[6] This subject will be treated fully in a separate publication.

An idea of the general appearance of the Bagobo can best be obtained by
a study of the accompanying photographs. Plates II-VIII.

Measurements were made on thirty-three men and fifteen women. The
maximum height of the males was found to be 164.8 cm.; minimum 149.8
cm.; with an average of 158.6 cm. For the women the maximum was 152.8
cm.; minimum 141 cm.; average 147.3 cm.

The cephalic indices of the same individuals showed 84.5 as the maximum,
74.3 minimum, and 78.8 the average for the males. The maximum for the
females was 83.1, minimum 76.2, average 80.7. The average length-height
index, taken from the tragus to the vertex, of the same persons, was
69.8--maximum 75.6, minimum 65.1 for the men; and for the women
73.1--maximum 76.6, minimum 70.2-.

The face is long, moderately broad, and the zygomatic arches are seldom
prominent. The forehead is high and full with supra-orbital ridge
slightly developed. The crown and back of the head are rather strongly
arched. The people are seldom prognathous, yet individuals are met with
who are markedly so (Plate V).

The lips are full and bowed; the chin is round and well formed. The root
of the nose is depressed; the ridge broad and generally inclined to be
concave, although straight noses are not uncommon. The nasal wings are
moderately broad and arched or swelled. The eye slits are oblique and
moderately open, showing dark or brown-black eyes. The hair is
brown-black and generally slightly wavy or loosely curled, while in some
cases it is found curled in locks. Women comb their hair straight back
and plaster it with cocoanut oil, but even this does not prevent stray
locks from creeping out. Both face and body hairs are scanty and are
generally removed, yet occasionally a man is seen who has cultivated a
few hairs into a fair semblance of a beard.

The Bagobo, while well nourished, are inclined to be of slight build,
with very narrow waists. In color they are a light reddish brown with a
slight olive tinge which is more pronounced in the women than in the
men.

In a brief summary, we can say that they are a short, slightly built,
metsati-cephalic people, with w
