Abstract
THE hue which a person presents depends upon two factors, to denote which no precise words exist, but which may be represented by the general terms pigmentation and complexion. In man these are quite distinct, and for that reason it is best to start with the consideration of the human skin, and from it to work backwards through some of the more primitive forms of life.
