these phenomena cannot be excluded. In this knowledge, and despite these considerations,! still think that the exposition of the several differences may be instructive. If, namely, differences are observed both by anthropology and the medical sciences independently of one another, even if not at a significant level, they are worthy of some reflection, and the more so if they shall, at some future time, be eventually supported by also the factual material of archeology. I cannot, of course, discuss archeological statements; these are within the scope of J. SZABÓ'

s investigative work. It could be established, however, from the data made available to me that among the graves of the left, that is, the northern wing of the cemetery at Kál those containing archeological object materials are, as was to be expected, numerically more than those of the right wing, and that the distinguished state of the left wing is expressed not only in this frequency of percentage but also the character of the material. According to the anthropological investigations

,the difference between the two groups lies primarily in the distribution of types. 71.4 per cent of all individuals belonging to the Mediterranoid type are to be found in the southern wing; accordingly, if the average stature of the two groups are calculated, those buried in the southern wing will be found to be lower than those reposing in the northern one

. There is a difference in also the composition of the brachycranial elements. All individuals displaying Dinaroid elements occur in the southern wing, those showing Alpinoid racial features lie in the southern one

. Individuals exhibiting more expressed Cromagnoid char: ters are to be found also in the western wing. In view of the fact that, according to the investigations, the differences between the two wings of the cemetery are more manifest in the males, I have calculated, for all adult males reposing in the northern and southern wings, the more important means ,of cranial measurements and indices, as well as their stature data and the average age at death data, and submit them in Table 16. A collation of the two columns of numbers of Table 16 illustrates rather satisfactorily that the cranial measurements of the males interred in the northern wing are in the average longer, wider, and higher than of those buried in the southern one

. The difference is in certain cases rather considerable, thus, for instance, that between the values of the bizygomatic, the nasal, and orbital breadths. Owing to the small number of cases in the two samples, the material is unsuitable for significance calculations, but as the differences between the means of the two groups display a deviation of identical direction in every measurement, this fact also corroborates the assumption of actual differences between the male individuals of the two sections of the cemetery. There are, however, also other differences between the two wings. All individuals exhibiting cranial trephinations (Graves 11,15, 17,18, 75) are
