Andamanese 4′ 10½″ This is the figure given by Mr. Portman (Journal of Anthropological Institute, vol. 25, p. 366) and by Dr. Haddon (Races of Man and their Distribution, p. 9), and is very near the 4′10¾″ given by Mr. Man (The Andaman Islanders, p. 5), and adopted by Messrs. Skeat and Blagden (Pagan Races of the Malay Peninsula, p. 573).
Semang 4′ 10¾″ Skeat and Blagden (Pagan Races, &c., p. 573) and Haddon (Races of Man, &c., p. 9).
Aetas 4′ 10″ This is Dr. Haddon’s figure (Races of Man, &c., p. 9), and it is within half an inch of the 4′ l0½″ given by Dr. Semper (Journal of Anthropology for October, 1870, p. 135). Dr. Meyer gives a number of varying measurements (see Journal of Anthropological Institute, vol. 25, p. 174), and Reed gives the average of 48 males, some of whom were not pure types, only 4′ 9” (Negritos of Zambales, p. 32).
Dutch New Guinea dwarfs 4′ 9″ Captain Rawling (Geographical Journal, vol. 38, p. 245).
Mafulu 5′ 1″ It is merely suggested by me that they are partly negrito, which, if correct, would explain the somewhat higher stature.

General Physique.

Andamanese Well proportioned, and with good muscular development (Man, Journal of Anthropological Institute, vol. 12, pp. 72 and 73).
Semang Sturdily built (Haddon, Races of Man, &c., p. 9).
Aetas Well formed and sprightly (Earle, Papuans, p. 123), and with limbs which, corresponding to their stature, are uncommonly slender, but well formed (Semper, Journal of Anthropology for October, 1870, p. 135). Well-built little men with broad chests, symmetrical limbs, and well-developed muscles (Reed, Negritos of Zambales, p. 34).
Dutch New Guinea dwarfs Of sturdy build (Rawling, Geographical Journal, vol. 38, p. 241).
Mafulu Fairly strong and muscular, but rather slender and slight in development.

Cephalic Index.

Andamanese82This is Dr. Haddon’s figure (Races of Man, &c., p. 9). Messrs. Skeat and Blagden say they are decidedly brachycephalic (Pagan Races, &c., p. 573).
Semang78.9Dr. Haddon’s figure (Races of Man, &c., p. 9). Skeat and Blagden describe them as brachycephalic to mesatecephalic (Pagan Races, &c., p. 34).
Aetas80Dr. Haddon’s figure (Races of Man, &c., p. 9). Skeat and Blagden describe them as decidedly brachycephalic (Pagan Races, &c., p. 573). Reed gives 82 as the average (Negritos of Zambales, p. 34).
Dutch New Guinea dwarfs80.2This figure is calculated by me from the actual length and breadth given by Captain Rawling (Geographical Journal, vol. 38, p. 245).
Mafulu80

Nasal Index.

Andamanese?
Semang101Calculated by me from average of actual measurements of 5 people given by Skeat and Blagden (Pagan Races, &c., p. 577).
Aetas?Reed records highly varying indices, the bulk of which were hyperplatyrhine (87.9–108.8), and nearly all the others of whichwere ultraplatyrhine (109 and over) (Negritos of Zambales, pp. 34, 35).

Colour of Skin.

Descriptions of this are so general, and so much depends in each case upon the relative meanings attached by each writer to the terms used by him, that I prefer to depend as regards the Andamanese, Semang, and Aetas upon Dr. Haddon’s descriptions, which are doubtless based upon his comparison of those given in previous literature.
