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 "Ñgaao," a native of Wagan. When he first
appeared in 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:
