The numbei's in curled brackets give the percentages of each hair colour of girls of a given age 
having a given eye colour. Examining this table it would seem doubtful, having regard to the 
paucity of individuals dealt with, whether we can assert significant changes in the percentages of 
medium-eyed girls having fair or brown hair at different ages. Nor would it be wise to insist 
that the changes of percentages in red-haired girls with light or dark eyes are significant. Red- 
haired girls with medium eyes seem to become continuously fewer with age ; light-eyed girls with 
fair hair become significantly fewer, and brown-haired girls with light eyes more numerous. 
Dark-eyed girls with fair or brown hair become significantly fewer and dark- eyed girls with dark 
hair become more numerous, and probably light-eyed girls with dark hair also. The medium-eyed 
girls with dark hair (except in infancy ?) remain much the same in percentage. Thus except in 
the case of red-haired girls those with medium eye colour change least ; the fair-haired girls with 
light eyes tend to become bi-own or even dark, and the dark-eyed girls with fair or brown hair 
to become dark-haired. How far these changes are influenced by a relative death rate still 
i-ernains to be determined.
