”Hannesson, although he used the Fischer chart, divides his hair color categories in such a way that one cannot distinguish the ash-blond from the golden class. Other evidence, however, clearly indicates that, of the two, the latter is in the majority. Of pure blond hair (Fischer #12-24) he finds but .8 per cent as against 13.1 per cent for Norway,51 and 5.5 per cent from Sogn og Fjordane, the province from which the largest number of settlers to Iceland came. In his light brown class (Fischer #7-11, 25-26), which includes what other authorities usually call ash-blond, he finds 52 per cent of his series, as compared to 64.8 per cent for Norway and 59.8 per cent for Sogn og Fjordane.”
