Abstract
ON the occasion of my first visit to Palestine I was struck by the number of blue-eyed, fair-haired children whom I met with in the towns and villages, more especially in the mountainous parts of the country. At the time I supposed them to be the descendants of the Crusaders or of the other natives of Northern Europe who found their way to the Holy Land during the Middle Ages. But a new light has recently been thrown on the matter by the ethnological observations made by Mr. Flinders Petrie in Egypt.
