Subclasses

some brown; frequent in United States.

 Brown light, medium, dark, very dark. 



Black really extreme of brown, appearing black, in Negroes. 

 Conjunctiva bluish, pearly white, yellowish, dirty or reddish

HAIR 



In quantity, the hair may be "normal" or "medium," "thick" 

 (term in vogue among men) or "rich" (term in vogue among women 

 and applying to length as well as profusion). 



In character, it may be naturally "straight," "wavy" (slightly or 

 markedly), "curly" (slightly, markedly), "frizzly," "wooly," or 

 "peppercorn" (en rouleux). 



HAIR-COLOR 



Remarks: Among lighter Whites hair color, like eye color, changes 

 with growth, as a rule darkening from infancy onward; it also varies 

 perceptibly according to the state of blood and in certain pronounced 

 mental conditions of the subject, and may present parts (particularly 

 postero-inferiorly), strands, or tufts of more or less different shade. 

 The color recorded is the prevailing one, with special note, if advis- 

 able, on variations. In gray-haired subjects record original color, as 

 far as ascertainable, as well as degree of greyness ("few gray hairs," 

 "some," "abt. J^, J^, J^, most, nearly all, all gray"). In dark races 

 grayness rarely reaches pure whiteness and the hair will be yel- 

 lowish. A special shade that may be difficult to classify should be 

 described in observer's own words. Hair color may also be affected 

 by exposure to sun, washing with alkalies, or by staining; what will 

 be recorded will, of course, be the natural color.
