excepting Edinburgh (</ and $ ), and Dundee ((/), which approximate the general 
population in distribution. 
Looking at the distribution of blue eyes in the division and county maps, it seems 
a very wide one. That is, geograpliically considered it is ivide, but it must of course 
be kept in mind that the areas shotvn are very sparsely j^opidated. The populous 
area between Edinburgh and Glasgow and the piopulous centres are mainly defective 
in blue eyes. Thus the question of density again arises. It will be seen later that 
just as fair hair is negatively correlated to density so also are blue eyes. 
(/3) Light Eye.s. (Maps XV., XVI., XXXIII. and XXXIV.) The proportion 
of light-eyed children in the general population is 30'314 per cent, for boys and 
30'307 per cent, for giils. The West-Midland division (that is, the Argyll group) 
stands out prominently as the only division where signiiicant excess of light eyes 
occurs both among boys and girls. The Southern or Galloway division is also
