racter.the female ones belong to the hypsiconch (85,27) and chamaerrhinian (53,85) index-groups. As for the palatal index,a short palate is characteristical for both sexes (95,30 and 86,16). The main measurements and indices of the skulls may, on the basis of groupfrequency, be evaluated as follows: It has been possible to determine the cranial length of the skulls of all adult individuals (100 per cent). The skulls are preponderantly long: 65 per cent of the males, and 40 per cent of the females. Extremely long is only one female skull (10 per cent). Moderately long 1B 15 per cent of the male, and 50 per cent of the female, skulls. Short skulls could be observed only in the males (20 per cent). The highest width of the skulls was measured on also 100 per cent of the material. Narrow skulls predominate in both sexes, in 45 per cent of the males, and 50 per cent of the females. The frequency of also the moderately wide skulls is also significant, 40 per cent in the males and 50 per cent in the females. Wide skulls could be observed in only the males (15 per cent). The cranial height was established on 77 per cent of the material. The majority of both the male (63 per cent) .an

J female (71 per cent) skulls is moderately high. High male and female skulls were present in 37 and 29 per cents, but no low skulls were found in the material. With respect to cranial capacity, 47 per cent of the skulls were suitable for examination. Of the male skulls 60 per cent, of the female ones 25 per cent, have a large capacity. The frequency of medium capacity is 40 per cent for the males, and 50 per cent for the females. Only one female skull showed a low capacity (25 per cent)

. The bizygomatic breadth was established for 67 per cent of the skulls. Por both sexes, the moderately broad group-frequency is characteristic (males 57 per cent, females 67 per cent). A wide bizygomatic breadth was found in 36 per cent of the males, and 33 per cent of the females. Only one male skull exhibited a narrow bizygomatic breadth (7 per cent). Por the determination of the facial height, 70 per cent of the material was suitable. It was found that 56 per cent of the male and 20 per cent of the female skulls are low. Moderately high are 25 per cent of the males and 80 per cent of the females. Three male skulls are high (19 per cent). It was possible to measure 80 per cent of the skulls to determine the upper facial height. For both sexes, the moderately high upper-face frequency is characteristic (males 44 per cent, females 100 per cent). Low are 39 per cent of the males, and high 17 per cent. Let us now examine the frequencies of the main index-group of the skulls. The length-breadth index was determinable in the entire adult material. On the basis of examinations, there is a difference between the two sexes. The shape of the male skulls is preponderantly (40 per cent) medium long (mesocranial), 35 per cent are long (dolichocranial), and 25 per cent short and extremely short, respectively (brachy-, hyperbrachy-, and ultrabrachycranial

). On the other hand, the short (brachycranial) group-frequency is the highest (40 per cent) in the females, while the frequency of the medium long (mesocranial) and long (dolichocranial) characters is equal for both groups (30 per cent). To sum up, 37 per cent of the examined skulls are medium long (mesocranial),
