breadth shows a significantly narrow variability. The measurements of the female brain cases are of an average variability, though the cranial index displays a significantly high variability also here. On the other hand, the structure of their facial skeleton is considerably more uniform; the mean sigma ratio is lower than the average. Table 9 shows the detailed distribution of the main cranial measurements, indices, and stature. These data shed some light also on the inner structure of variability. Table 10 gives the frequency of occurrence of the main morphological features. Since a part of these are inheritable, their study was extended also to the children. The results might be summed up as follows: As was shown above, the structure of the facial skeleton of the females is rather homogeneous. The study of the morphological characteristics adds two valuable facts to his statement. A moderate grade torus palatínus appears in all examined cases, and a weaker or stronger alveolar prognathism occurs also in all examinable individuals. The females are furthermore characterizable by the frequency of a convex nose and a grade 2 spina nasalis anterior. The totality of the population is moreover characterizable by the great frequency of the various suturai bones and the complete absence of the sutura metopica. Taxonomic characteristics The taxonomic analysis of the skeletal remains was based on P. Lipták*

s handbook (1969). The Tengelic population belongs almost in its entirety to the Europoid great race, with merely
