 There are two kinds of negroes in the islands native tribes and Africans. The former are negritoes. or little negroes, called locally Aetas or Alias. from the Malay word hitam. black.

 The African blacks in the Philippines are cousins many times removed of those in the United States, descendants of the unfortunate captives who for more than 300 years were carried by the Spaniards arate settlements, and their influence on the mass of population has not been salu- tary.

 There are two kinds of brown peoples in our new islands, namely, the Polyne- sian browns, resembling Hawaiians, and Maiayan browns, more plentiful every

Let 1t be assumed that 1t is not difficult to follow this with the hypothesis that early in the course of those migrations that carried the Indone- Philippines were both resting place and wayside station.
