Szatymaz (LIPTÁK-PARKAS,1967a); 51. Székesfehérvár-Bikasziget (ACSÁDI-NEMESKÉRI, 1959); 52. Székesfehérvár-Szárazrét (ACSÁDI-NEMESKÉRI, 1959); 53. Veszprém-Kálváriadomb (ACSÁDI-NEMESKÉRI, 1957). Of the 53 series, I declined to examine the following series with res­pect to the female s ,owing to the small number of individuals: 5,6,11,13,14, 15,18,21,25,27,30,34,37. Examinations were made with PENROSE'S generalized distance calculation (1954). The mean values of the given series were standardized by ALEKSEYEV­DEBETZ's (1964) mean sigmas. The calculations were based on the following 10 cranial measurements: maximum cranial length (l), basion-nasion length (5), maximum cranial breadth (8), minimum frontal breadth (9), basion-bregma height (17), basion-prosthion length (40), bizygomatic breadth (45), upper facial height (48), orbital height (52), nasal breadth (54). In the case of all series, however, in which the distance from Kál appeared to be compa­ratively slight (D| <2.00), two further measurements have also been drawn into the investigation for the sake of greater reliability ,namely the orbi­tal breadth (51),and the nasal height (55).As a result of the calculations, the following picture is obtained in regard of the parallels of the Kál po­pulation. In the case of the males, of the 53 examined series merely two Sar­matian ones deriving from the area of the Soviet Union (Ukraine and Kali­novka, near Volgograd) and three only of the home material (Ártánd, IX c, Kérpuszta, and Székesfehérvár-Szárazrét, XI.c.) were found to stand near (Dp <1.50), on the basis of 10 characters, to the population at Kál. The distance appeared to be especially slight between Kál and Kérpusz­ta, explainable probably by the presence in the two populations of the rather great number of Mediterranoid elements. If, however, the distance from Kál of the series was further checked by two other (therefore now 12) measurements, four of the five series remain in unaltered nearness (on the basis of Dp ^2.00), but Kérpuszta recedes, owing primarily to the consi­derable deviation of its orbital breadth from Kál (Tables 14,15).This might be explained by the significant proportion of Cromagnoid elements at Kér­puszta and their subordinate role at Kál. The distance between Kál and the four close series is, however, not so slight as to warrant the inference of any direct connection or even iden­tity. If the generalized PENROSE distance of Kál and each of the other four series is calculated between one another and the results plotted on a dendrogram (Figure l), two instructive deductions can be made. It becomes readily apparent that Kál is not too closely connected with the other four series, especially not with Ártánd and the Sarmatians from Ukraine; its apparent parallels approach rather Székesfehérvár-Szárazrét and Kalinovka. Furthermore, not only Kál but also Ártánd and Székesfehérvár-Szárazrét have
