Zusammenfassung:	This paper reports on the study of hair and eyes pigmentation in 797 Gypsy children of school age. We found considerable predominance of dark colour of hair (89 – 100 %) with certain intersexual differences in proportion of individual colour shades in dark hair colour. In both sexes, a gradual darkening of hair depending on the age was found. Dark colour of iris occurred in 74 % of boys and 80 % of girls. Independence of the age, a gradual lightening in iris colour in Gypsy boys and a darkening in Gypsy girls were observed.
