(8) Dark Eyes. (Maps XIX., XX., XXXVII. and XXXVIII.) The per- 
centage of dark eyes in tlie general population of boys is 22%31 ; in the general 
girl population it is 22"7G. The distribution of dark eyes from the point of view 
of the 'division' analysis shows excesses in the South-Western or Lanark division 
and the East-Midland or Perth-Forfar division. The buffer county of Stirling, 
belonging to the West-Midland division, resembles the general population. The 
North-Western, West-Midland and North-Eastern divisions are all distinctly micro- 
metropic (both and $ ) for this class. The other divisions are slightly 
micrometropic or are mesometropic. Examining the results of the county analysis 
it is noted that Dundee city and Forfar county are responsible for the significant 
excess in the East-Midland division, while Glasgow alone is responsible for the 
excess in the South-Western division. Outside these divisions there is a probably 
significant excess in the counties of Caithness and Sutherland. A. slight excess 
occurs in Banffshire as also in the county of Roxburgh. Taking a local view it 
is found that an excess occurs in the south and east of the county of Lanark, in 
South Ayrshire, East Fife and the neighbourhooil of Perth, besides the cases 
just mentioned. The most striking feature in the distribution of dark eyes is tlie
