III. Differences in Eye Colour, (a) Blue Eyes. (Maps XIII., XIV., XXXI. 
and XXXII.) The general percentage for blue eyes among boys is 14"66 and 
among girls is 14*87. The greatest excess is found in Shetland and the smallest 
percentage in Glasgow. Noting first the general distribution it is seen that the 
north is distinctly the blue-eyed region. The Northern, North-Western, North- 
Eastern and %) and East-Midland ((/') are significantly blue-eyed. The 
South-Eastern {^) and Southern (J' and % ) show slight excess. The South- 
western (c/" and ? ) is distinctly micrometropic — -there is quite a deficiency of 
blue eyes in this division compared with the general population. The West- 
Midland division is only slightly micrometropic. Examining the county distri- 
butions, one finds that Orkney, Shetland and Sutherland (but not Caithness) are 
significantly blue-eyed ; all the counties in the North-Western division ((/ and $) 
are also megalometropic; in the East-Midland division, Perth and Forfar (but
