Hair Color Heredity.

Heredity of hair color is discussed
by Gertrude and Charles Davenport
in the American Naturalist As re-
CARDS the nature of the cOlOring. the
authors consider that there are prob
ably two main types of pigment in
human hair, one reddish-yellow
which finds its highest development
in bright red and the other a Sc
pia-broWn, the intensity of which
ranges from light yellow to dark
brown and black. AS the result of a
combined study OF both eye-color and
hair-cOlor, the writer's finally arrive
at the conclusion that two parents
with clear blue eyes and yellow or
fiaXen straight hair can have children
only of the same type, no matter what
the grandparenta1 characteristics
were: that dark-eyed and haired, cur
ly-haired parents may have children
like themselves, but also of the less
developed condition. In the latter
case what the proportions of each
type will be is, for a fairly large fam.
lily, practicable by study of the i'm
