RACIAL AFFINITIES 585<br />

Colour black—under microscope densely pigmented—surface rough.<br />

Sections.— Pigment seen to be uniformly distributed along length <strong>of</strong> longitudinal<br />

sections. In transverse sections it is seen in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> fine granules aggregated<br />

chiefly about <strong>the</strong> periphery <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> section and just within <strong>the</strong> well-marked<br />

cuticular border. There is also a core formed <strong>of</strong> an aggregation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> granules<br />

in <strong>the</strong> centre <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> section. This core is about -^\^ mm. in diameter.<br />

Inform, <strong>the</strong> sections vary from an oval or ellipse at <strong>the</strong> thicker or basal end,<br />

to almost a circle near <strong>the</strong> tip <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hair. The indices <strong>of</strong> four sections work out<br />

at 55.2, 58.9 (<strong>the</strong>se are oval), 86.7, 86.9 (<strong>the</strong> latter are sections near <strong>the</strong> tip <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> hair). The hair has thus negroid characters in respect <strong>of</strong> section.<br />
