Abstract
An empirical evaluation of the correspondence between skin pigmentation and density of pigmentation in the Fundus oculi seemed desirable as a measure preliminary to further study of possible racial differences in perception. Fourteen Negro and 26 Caucasian males between the ages of 8–12 (matched for age on an approximately one to two basis), were rated for density of fundus pigmentation on a four point scale by an opthalmologist. A close correspondence between race and fundus pigmentation density was found, with 12 of the 14 Negro children categorized in a distinctly denser class of fundus pigmentation than 24 of the 26 Caucasian children.
