also narrow upper face, a smooth, glabellar area and narrow, low forehead, medium high, angular orbita, a wide apertúra piriformis, medium high nasal cavity, a slightly convex or concave - or even straight - bony nose,a medium strong alveolar prognathism., small and large medium stature and gracile bones. * The other subgroup is a mixture of the Cro-Magnoide A and the Nordic types. This comprises skulls No. 4771, 4774, 4778« They are characterized by a massive and strong, mesocranial skull, strongly expressed glabellar area, medium wide, high forehead, medium high and medium wide upper face, oblong and medium high orbita, medium wide apertúra piriformis, straight and large nasal ridge , massive, divergent mandible with a developed mentum, and large medium to tall stature. It goes without saying that the two arbitrarily separated subgroups do not represent clear types, and this is why two types each had to be indicated in the subclassification. And beside the above ones, the male skulls No. 4751, 4755, 4769 could not be relegated to either one of the two subgroups. On the basis of the available data, therefore, our material may be designated, by the secondary taxonomic characters, as slightly heterogeneous. Concerning the female skull, merely 3 of the 8 crania are suitable for type analysis, hence any taxonomic relegation is vaiwed. In his paper, NEMESKÉRI (1947) demonstrated that Eastern Baltic, Dinarian and Nordic types predominate in the Hungarian population of the Árpád Age, with some Turanide and Tauride types also occuring in the populations in the western confines of the Transdanubia.At the same time,he also pointed out the especial significance of examining the cranial shape. Working out of variations of an index, he also made some comparisons with regard to some series originating from the Árpád Age. The presence of the above mentioned Eastern Baltic, Dinarian, and Nordic type elements is in fact demonstrable, in a smaller to greater percentage, In the material of most cemeteries of the Árpád Age. The Eastern Baltic and Nordic elements occur in our material, too, but the Dinarian type is absent, the same as the Turanide and Tauride types, characteristic , according to the aboves, especially for the Western Transdanubia. The rate of homogeneity, calculable on the basis of variations appearing in the values of the absolute measurements and indices, was established by the application of HOWELLS's „ sigma ratio" method (THOMA, 1957). The mean of the S R values of seven absolute measurements (1,8,9,17,45,47,48) is, in our material, 102,1, referring to a low rate of heterogeneity, since the value is slightly above 100. The S R mean, calculated from seven indices (8:1, 17:1, 17:8, 9:8, 48:45, 52:51, 54:55), is 104,4, hence the situation is essentially the same. (As related to the material of the cemetery at Kérpuszta (XI c), our material is more homogeneous ,since the S R means of Kérpuszta are 116,9 and 117,7, respectively. ) Comparative analysis The comparisons of only the male series were made, on the basis of mean values. I had to calculate some necessary mean values myself (thus for Mohács-Csele, Devin, and Dolny-Jatov) , since the respective authors had not published them. I have examined the materials of some regions, originating from the Árpád Age
