the only excess in hair colour (scarcely significant) being that of the dark class ? 
Finally there is the general problem of the colour characters of Glasgow. Why 
should this population differ so markedly in pigmentation from the general popu- 
lation of Scotland ? This problem will now be solved as far as it can be solved from 
the data of the survey and other available information. 
III. Specific Elements in the Glasgow Population, causing Divergency, 
(a) Introductory. In one of the previous sections (Section 9) it was proved 
(1) that excess of blue eyes, dark hair, and jet black hair, are associated with 
regions of excess of the Gaelic speaking population; and (2) that excess of medium 
or brown hair, medium eyes and dark eyes are associated with more densely popu- 
lated regions, which in turn are also regions of excess of foreigners. This means, 
briefly, that blue eyes, dark, and jet black hair are probably typical of Gaelic 
speaking people* although of course all the other classes are represented in this 
population, and that brown hair is typical of densely populated areas which in turn 
have a proportion above the average of foreign immigrants. 
The Gaelic Speaking Population. Taking the Gaelic speaking population 
first, there is undoubtedly a large Scoto-Keltic or Highland element in Glasgow. 
At the last Census, no fewer than 18,279 persons could speak Gaelic and English 
in the city proper. This is equal to 9 per cent, of the total Gaelic speaking 
population. Taking Glasgow, Govan, Kinning Park and Partick, that is Greater 
Glasgow (without the environs), the Census shows that nearly 24,000 or 11"7 per 
cent., or more than one-ninth of the whole Gaelic population, is concentrated in the 
great western city. An analysis of the Census returns further shows Kelvinside, with 
6-4 per cent. ; Tradeston (Kingston Ward), with 5 per cent. ; Milton (Park Ward), 
* Gaelic speaking people are not associated with dense areas as a whole. The correlation is 
negative, r— - -39 ± •2, The association with sparsely populated parts ip therefore not very high.
