[visionlist] instructions for color vision tests

I am hoping someone can help me with instructions for either of two  
color vision tests.

I have access to two types of tests, but neither comes with  
instructions for administering or scoring the test.

1) The Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test. This comes in a wooden box  
with a label on top that reads

Farnsworth-Munsell
100 Hue Test
Munsell(R) Color
Macbeth a division of Kollmorgen Corporation
405 Little Britain Road, Newburgh, NY 12551

Inside are four smaller boxes with chips for separate colors. I  
understand the basics of how this test is administered, but I'm not  
clear on how it is scored.

2) Ishihara's test:

This is a book with the following cover

ISHIHARA'S TESTS
FOR
COLOUR-DEFICIENCY

38 Plates Edition

1996

Kanehara & Co., LTD.
Tokyo, Japan

Again, I more or less understand what is going on, but I'm not sure of  
the details, or how to draw conclusions.

Any advice, or a PDF of the instructions for either test would be  
greatly appreciated.
