Dr. Meyer has recently issued an "Album of Philippine Types" (Dresden, 1885), containing thirty-two photographic plates, with altogether about 250 figures of natives of Luzon and Mindanao, the two largest islands in the Archipelago. Some of these were originally taken by Dr. Meyer himself in the year 1872, when he spent some time in the Philippines; for the others he is indebted to Herr C. Heinszen, of Hamburg, Dr. W. Joest, of Cologne, and Dr. A. Schadenberg, of Glogau. Two plates with nine figures are devoted to the little-known Bagobos tribe of South Mindanao; all the rest to the motley populations of Luzon. Here are figured a large number of Negritos (Aetas) and half-caste Malayo-Negritos; Tinguianes, and Igorrotes from the northern and western districts; Ibilaos; Ilongotes from the province of Nueva Vizcaya, and Tagalas of every variety (pure, and half-caste Spanish, Chinese, and Negrito Tagalas) from Manilla and other districts. The accompanying letterpress gives a brief description of the several figures, the reader being referred for fuller information to Prof. F. Blumentritt's valuable treatise on the ethnography of the Philippines, which appeared in Petermann's Mittheilungen, Ergõnzungsheft 67, 1882.
