ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS

viduals, the Jews have only 37 percent. It is significant that in 

 countries where the percentage of fair-eyed persons is smaller 

 than in Lithuania, the Jews, on the contrary, have proportion- 

 ately more fair-eyed persons. Thus, in Galicia, where 39 per- 

 cent of the Ruthenians and 70 percent of the Poles hav^e fair 

 eyes, the Jews have 47 percent, and in Russian Poland the Jews 

 have 43 percent as against 81 percent among the Poles. We 

 can consequently not find any relation between the color of the 

 hair and eyes of the Jews and the non-Jewish populations 

 among which they hav^ed lived. It seems rather that the con- 

 trary is true. The Jews have almost everywhere about 80 

 percent of persons with dark hair, and about 50 percent with 

 dark eyes, about i 5 percent of fair hair and over 40 percent of 

 fair eyes. The fact that the indigenous population of a country 

 is fairer or darker does not appear to effect the Jews. This is
