88 R. J. Anderson. 



The colours of the eyes amongst the boys were, Dark or brown 26, 

 Blue 48. Of 57 brown-haired boys 22 had dark or brown eyes. 

 There were 14 girls with brown eyes, and 48 with blue eyes. Of 

 these 11 brown-eyed girls had brown hair, whilst 3 were fair, red, 

 or sandy. 



The naval reserve gave Black hair 9.9 p. c, Brown-black 

 23 p. c, Fair 32 p. c, Red or yellow 12 p. c. Brown 14 p. c. There 

 were 8 who had brown eyes out of 34. 



I may add the results of an examination of the Industrial School 

 children — 54 p. c, had light hair and light blue eyes. Red or 

 sandy hair occurs in 10 p. c. of those with gray or blue eyes. Taking 

 for granted that black hair is mostly very dark red, one may trace 

 transitional varieties towards the sandy and yellow types. There are 

 few black-haired individuals, the index of nigrescences is greater by 

 one-fifth in men than in boys in Brown's results quoted, and is 

 higher in women than in men.
