From the results found in ascertaining the degree of association between 
density and pigmentation, excesses of medium hair, medium eyes and dark eyes 
would be expected in Glasgow. But the most densely populated parts of the 
city have been proved to be likely to contain more foreigners than the less densely 
populated parts. Thus the greater the number of persons per square mile a popu- 
lation has, the greater will be the expected excess of the three classes associated 
with excess of foreign immigrants. Now the only large group which has the 
complete density-colour specification (and in the greatest excess) and which has 
the highest general divergency, is the group of divisions Tradeston, Gorbals and 
Hutchesontown. It is highly probable that the foreign element may be one of 
the factors in the divergency of this group — foreign immigrants may contribute to 
the excesses in one or more of the classes there. In order that an estimate of the 
probable number of school children of foreign parentage attending Glasgow schools 
might be formed, an enumeration of those possessing foreign surnames was made. 
At the same time the colour characters were noted and classified. Only those 
surnames which were unmistakably foreign were taken, so that the estimate is 
most probably below instead of above the actual figures. The following is the 
result of the enumeration for the various pigmentation groups of Greater Glasgow. 
The environs were not included.
