Pedigree 34. S. Family. 



I Gen. An Englishman, S., who has light hazel eyes and brown hair, 

 married a woman with very good features; very dark 

 brown eyes; black, straight hair; to all appearances a 

 brunet. Her mother was Scotch and her paternal great- 

 grandfather was Scotch, the colored blood being from the 

 paternal side. They have ten children, of whom the 

 standard color determination was taken for one brunet and 

 for one blond.

Eyes brown; hair straight; blond; skin 2, 35, 20, 43. 



The blonds would pass for pure English, and, except 

 in Jamaica, the brunets would pass unquestioned. The 

 brunets tan more deeply than the blonds, so the contrast 

 shows more plainly when one sees them. 



Pedigree 35. S. Family. 



I Gen. S., son of a Jew and a dark brunet, skin say N 15 per cent, the 



daughter of a white father and colored mother; has fine 

 features; gray eyes and slightly curly hair, which, judging 

 from a photograph, is coarse and shows his negro blood. 

 He married a dark-eyed, practically straight-haired, very 

 white-skinned woman, whose father was a fair-skinned 

 man with blue eyes, the son of a Spaniard and a Creole.* 

 Her mother, daughter of a blue-eyed Englishman and a 

 Creole, was a fair-skinned woman with medium brown 

 eyes; brown, slightly wavy hair. They have six sons and a 

 daughter, all but two of whom have skin about 4, 28, 17, 51. 



* Creole probably indicates, in this instance, a little colored blood, but fair complexion 

 such as would pass for white. The term is applied diversely in Jamaica; sometimes to 

 indicate a native white; sometimes to indicate a native, merely; thus, "a Creole dog" 

 (Official Guide, Jamaica Tourist Assn., 1912, p. 56). In South America, as is well known, 

 the term implies colored blood; but in Louisiana it excludes colored blood (Johnston, 

 1910, p. 55).
