in blue eyes. There does not seem to be any great bias in favour of or against light

(7) The General Resemblance of Local Populations to the General Population. 
I. Introductory. II. Hair Colour as a Character, all Classes constituting 
the Character being considered together. III. Eye Colour as a Character, all 
Classes constituting the Character being considered together. 
I, Introductory, (a) Class frequencies constituting a character are here con- 
sidered as a whole for each locality (division, county or district), that is to say, 
intralocally and collectively, and compared with the proportional class frequencies 
of the general population. As an alternative method, leading to the same 
result, class frequencies collectively of one locality are compared with the class 
frequencies collectively of the remaining population and the extent of divergency 
of the local population measured.
