Eye 



The following descriptive terms were used for eye color: black, dark brown, 

 light brown, blue, gray, blue-brown, gray-brown. Black was used for the verj 

 heavily pigmented brown eye which on casual examination appears black. Blue- 

 brown and gray-brown were employed to designate those very light brown eyes 

 which are often termed green or hazel. The basic color is either a blue or a gray 

 with a discontinuous distribution of brown pigment either radiating from around 

 the pupil or distributed in specks throughout the iris.

The terminolog}^ used to designate the condition of the conjunctiva was 

 clear, speckled, yellow, dull, blood-shot. It was found, however, that with the 

 exception of "clear" all the other terms might sometimes be applied to a single eye. 

 For this reason the data have been tabulated under two heads only, "clear," and 

 "unclear," unclear including speckled, yellow, and dull muddy eyes. "Blood-shot" 

 was not represented.

Nose 



The elevation of the nasal bridge from the face was estimated in terms of 

 low, medium or high. The European nose was the conception of high. As a rule 

 the contour of the nostrils in man is nearly oval. The method adopted in describ- 

 ing the nostrils is based on an imaginary long axis through the oval and its orien- 

 tation in relation to the facial plane. In most Europeans the long axes of the nos- 

 trils point directly forward in an antero-posterior direction from the facial plane
