While this classification is substantially sound, and sufficient for our
purpose, recent investigations have shown that other factors also
contribute to straightness or kinkiness, such as coarseness of texture,
as opposed to fineness. Probably these will be determined by Mr. Louis
R. Sullivan, of the American Museum of Natural History, who is working
on the subject. It has been found that the Japanese and Eskimo are
exceptions to the rule of “straight hair, round cross section,” for they
show an ellipse. There is also a wide range of variation in the
cross-sections of hair for individuals of any race, who are classified
according to the preponderance of cross-sections of a single type. For a
fine series of plates which are photographs of the magnified hair of
individuals of various races, see _Das Haupthaar und seiner
Bildungsstatte bei den Rassen des Menschen_, Gustave Fritsch. Another
recent paper is the study by Leon Augustus Hausmann of Cornell, “The
Microscopic Structure of the Hair as an Aid in Race Determination.”
