132 Pigmentation Survey of ScJiool Children in Scotland 
carried out and to further the statistical portion of the work. A Donation from 
Lord Strathcona in November 1906 of £100 towards anthropological research 
on adults and children in Scotland has also to be gratefully acknowledged. A 
portion (£21. 10s.) has been expended on the work of the present Survey. The 
Carnegie Trust in July 1908 made a Grant of £100 in aid of publication. 
The total Grants in aid up to the present date thus amount to £521. 10s. The 
total cost of the Survey including outlays, for aid in statistical, clerical and other 
work has been £860. Is. 4d. The writer desires gratefully to acknowledge all 
the Grants made, and further the aid given by Sir William Turner and Professor 
Reid towards securing them. Without these Grants, the Survey would not have 
been made. 
(2) Arrangements prior to organization. 
Immediately on receiving the Royal Society Grant of £200 in May, 1902, the 
writer placed himself in communication with the officials of the Educational 
Institute of Scotland and other teachers throughout the country. The teachers 
were found to be distinctly sympathetic and interested in the scheme and, by the 
end of December, the writer was able to report to the Committee that there was 
every likelihood of the teachers consenting to make the necessary observations. 
On the 27th December, the General Committee of Management of the Educational 
Institute of Scotland passed a favourable resolution communicated to the author 
by the secretary of the Institute in the following terms : — 
CoATBRmGE, 27tk Dec. 1902. 
Dear Sir, 
I have pleasure in informing you that the General Committee of Management at 
their meeting to-day adopted the following motion : — " That the General Committee of Manage- 
ment recommend the members of the Institute to aflbrd whatever support it may be in their 
power to give towards the carrying out of a pigmentation survey of school children in Scotland." 
Faithfully yours, 
(Signed) JOHN LAURENCE, 
Sec. of the Institute.

Thus the cooperation of the teaching profession seemed assured and every 
confidence was felt that the returns would be made by the teachers without any 
delay, after receiving the necessary schedules and instructions. 
The preparation of the schedules and instructions caused the Committee much 
anxiety. Quite 18 months were spent in discussing the best way to have the 
observations made. All the leading authorities were consulted as to the numbers 
of categories to be employed, the reproduction of suitable colour cards, and other 
means of aiding the teachers in their task of determining the precise colours 
involved. Although in many respects desirable, the limits of this memoir preclude 
the author from giving more than a general statement of the decision arrived at. 
At the outset both Sir William Turner and Professor Reid agreed that it would 
be most desirable to have either standard specimens of hair and artificial eyes
