Extract

Some time ago, in a paper published by the Royal Anthropological Institute, I applied a Mendelian analysis to that part of the observations made by the late Dr Beddoe (1) which refers to the colour of the hair. In that paper (2) I showed that these observations obeyed in a highly remarkable degree the law referred to, and that this result held from the north of Scotland, through the whole of England, Ireland, France, and Germany, to the south of Italy. At that time I was unable to make any application to the observations on eye colour also published in the same work, but I have now succeeded in completing the analysis.
