The rates of the standard deviation have been calculated as related to the mean sigma values of ALEKSEYEV-DEBETS equally. In taxonomical valuation I followed the system of LIPTÁK (1969), finally I executed distance calculations by the method of PENROSE (1954). The laboratorial examinations of the Pécs series have been executed by I. LENGYEL (LENGYEL 1971). I want to express my sincere gratitude in this place. L. HARSÁNYI has kindly made the diagnosis of four infantile skeletons paleopathologically

; I want to thank him too sincerely. I have summarized the individual basic data of all excavated skeletons (representation values, sex and age data) in Table 1. In the second column of the Table the sign "G" attached to the grave No. of the first 12 individuals means that this part of the cemetery has been unearthed at No. 8 Geisler Eta Street. The individual metric data are to be found in Table 11-12. DEMOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERS The distribution per age group and sex of the investigated series is illustrated by Table 2. Investigating the characteristics of the distribution of sexes, it jumps to the eye that the proportion of women surpasses that of men. The sex ratio is 71, meaning that only 71 men face 100 women. According to the chemical sex definition of I. LENGYEL, the sex ratio of the whole population is 70, identical to the former; if we turn to the sex ratio of the adults, however, it is 92, a balanced one, whereas that of children is only 46, meaning that 100 girls are faced by 46 boys only. Though we have to consider that the Pécs series results from a partial excavation, imparaging the validity of the phenomena open to ob-
