For example: the cephalic indices of eight out of the twenty-seven were 80 or above, while six were less than 75; again, in the length-height indices six were above 70 and an equal number less than 65. In other respects there is such variation that it is hard to generalize.
The following results were obtained by measurements on twenty-seven men: Maximum height 166.6 cm.; minimum 151.3 cm.; average 157.4 cm. Cephalic indices Maximum 89.7; minimum 76.3; average 81.5. Length-height indices Maximum 79.0; minimum 63.1, average 70.0. These tables show that aside from being more short-headed, this tribe differs little from the Bagobo, Bila-an, and Kulaman.
Measurements made on fifteen men and five women gave the following results: Height Men: Maximum 161.3 cm., minimum 145.1 cm., average 153.9 cm. Women: Maximum 152.3 cm., minimum 144.1 cm., average 146.8 cm. Cephalic index Men: Maximum 89.1, minimum 76.3, average 84.6. Women: Maximum 84.8, minimum 75.2, average 81.3. Length-height index Men: maximum 78.7, minimum 64.5, average 74.2.
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 maximum height of the men was found to be 163.6 cm.; minimum 142.3 cm.; with an average of 154.7 cm. The cephalic indices showed 87.8 cm. as the maximum; 74 cm. the minimum; and 80.4 cm. the average. The greatest length-height index was 78.6 cm.; the minimum 62.4 cm. and the average 69.7 cm.
The use of these two articles is not confined to this people, but is typical of them. The same type of box is found among the Manobo of the Agusan river valley. Measurements on twenty-seven men gave the following results: Height: Maximum 169.0 cm.; minimum 146.0 cm.; average 158.3 cm. Length-Height.
