and girls, more than in any part of Scotland. The Southern division ((/") and the 
West-Midland division ( $ ) approximate more closely to the general population in 
the distributions of hair colour than the remaining divisions. All the other 
divisions diverge widely from the general population. The divergency is greatest 
in the North- Western division for both sexes. This is clearly due to the excesses 
of dark, jet black and fair hair in this division and the comparative absence of 
medium. Red hair is only slightly in defect in the division. 
(/3) Examining the general distributions in the county groups,' it is noted that 
the eastern counties generally can passably be described as samples of the general 
population. The Northern Isles (</), Aberdeen ((/"), Kincardine ((/), Forfar 
((/• and $), excluding Dundee, Fife ((/), Haddington ((/"), Stirling, right to Dum- 
barton in the West ((/■ and ^ ), and also Lanark ((/"), excluding Glasgow, show, by 
their divergency coefficients being small, < '008, that their populations approximate 
the general population in hair colour. Kirkcudbright and Wigtown in the extreme 
south are also like the general population. The rest of Scotland shows great 
divergency from the general population in its distribution of hair colour. For 
instance the north-west region, owing to both its darkness and fairness, and the 
south-east region contiguous to the Border, owing to its fairness and brownness, 
are widely divergent. Can any reason or reasons be assigned why certain counties 
or areas are more like or more unlike the general population than others ? 
References to the maps (Maps XLIII. to XLVI.) and to the following table 
(Table XXIII.) show that at least for the boy population the counties which show
