Munster, and those of Durham, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 
together with the inhabitants of the West Biding of Yorkshire, 
Nottinghamshire, some counties on the borders of S. Wales 
and on the north bank of the Thames, and part of Lanark¬ 
shire. The lightest people appear to be those of Leinster, 
Somerset, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Shropshire, and 
Surrey. 
In the third map the distribution of adult males with light 
hair and eyes is shown. They are placed in five divisions. 
In districts coloured as No. 1, a proportion of more than 50 
per cent, of fair people has been found, while—passing over 
intermediate subdivisions—in No. 5 the average number of 
fair people is only from 30 to 35 per cent. The results are 
very singular. In Ireland, Leinster and Connaught are 
placed in No. 1 ; Ulster in No. 2 ; and Munster in No. 3. 
In Scotland the counties included in No. 1 are a part of 
Lanark and Dumbarton, Kincardine and Forfar, Berwick¬ 
shire and the Lotliians. In England the three counties 
with the highest average of fair people (No. 1) are Northum¬ 
berland, Durham, and Gloucestershire. In No. 2 are York¬ 
shire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, Stafford, 
and Surrey. No. 3 includes Cumberland and Westmoreland, 
Wales, and the southern counties, Oxford, Buckingham, North¬ 
ampton, Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Norfolk. No districts 
in Ireland or Scotland are included in No. 4, but in England 
we have Lincolnshire, Warwick, Worcester, and Berkshire; 
while the counties with the fewest fair people (No. 5) appear 
to be Leicester, Suffolk, Essex, Hertford, and Middlesex. 
Next comes a map showing the distribution of adult males 
with dark eyes and hair. The first division, No. 1, includes 
the districts having less than 20 per cent, of dark-eyed 
and dark-haired people, while the last, No. 5, indicates those 
with more than 35 per cent. We learn that the districts 
with the fewest dark people (No. 1) are Connaught in 
Ireland ; Kincardine, Forfar, the Lotliians, Berwick, Box- 
burgli, Selkirk, Peebles, and Dumfries, in Scotland; and 
Derbyshire in England. In Ireland Leinster contains the 
largest number of dark people (No. 4), and in Scotland the
