and very dark eyes, were not reckoned. The follow- 

 ing groups of reckoning show results in the total of 

 about three-fourths dark to one-fourth fair, being the 

 reverse of Barcelona, where the population was 

 approximately one-fourth dark to three-fourths fair.*

The extremes were widely separate in shade of 

 colour, the appearance being that of two separate 

 races. This was the first fairly-accurate reckoning 

 made, all other observations on the apparent numbers 

 of dark and fair were based upon impressions, after 

 walking the streets of the various towns ; as the above 

 agrees with the impression I had set down of the 

 proportion of the population colour-segregation in 

 Granada, it is probable I may have formed a fairly 

 correct estimate in other towns. 



A very fair, flaxen-haired little girl of about seven 

 years, was photographed alongside of a dark woman 

 (her grandmother). Her mother was afterwards seen, 

 and found to be also dark. The father was " Moreno," 

 (dark), too, but he was not seen. There were six 

 more children of this family, all of whom were said 



only.
