The color Of the eye is the result OF
the fusion of two elements, the shade
of the ground OF the iris and that o!
the aureole which surrounds the pu
pll. The usual method of classifying
eyes in the past has been to regard
them at a distance of three or four
feet, and to mark the result of the fu,
sion of the two elements. Eyes thus
studied are classified as blue, brown,
green, and gray, or as dark, medium,
light. But there is little precision in
this method. M. Bertillon resolved
to study the eve close at hand, and to
analyze each of the elements, He
found that the ground of the iris is
rarely decided in shade, varying from
a sky blue to slate blne, ami chang
ing according to the intensity Of the
light, and is, therefore, of little SER
vice in an exact description. The
pigment of the aureole around the
pupil is, however, more pronounced
in color, and less variable in the light,
and therefore better capable OF sery.

means Of it the eye can be separated
into seven sufficiently distinct classes

or very insignificant, and In which

Maroon aureole covering the entire
iris. Each of these divisions may
further be divided into light, medium

sub divisions approach closely some
times thus an eye may appear to one
person as a dark orange, which to an
other will seem light chestnut.
For quite long time fashions have
