house, along the line Kaposvár - Dombóvár, 7 km east of Kapos­vár, in the Southern Transdanubia. Tables I and II summarizes the per cent distribution according to sex and age of the examin crania as well as the details of the osteological material . Following the traditional usage in the obtaining of the meatric data (MARTIN, 1928), a maximum of 54 measurements referring to the brain case and the facial ske­leton, depending on the state of preservation of the skulls, were taken and 11 indices calculated. The male measurements and indices are given in Tables III-IV, those of the females in V­VI, and those of the children and juveniles in VII-XII. The an­gular measurements and morphoscopic characteristics of the ma­les are summarized in Table XIII, those of the females in Table XIV. The parameters of the male and female series are submitted in Tables.-''XV and XVI. By the application of the usual anthropo­logical ,'methods , the distribution of the main morphoscopic fea­tures (SCHEIDT 1927); MARTIN­SALLER (1953) are compiled in Tables XVII-XVIII.' The results concerning the study of the se­veral craniomorphological anomalies are given in Table XIX. Stature was established on the basis of the measurements of the long bones (WOLANSKI, 1953)(Tables XX-XXl). In the anthropological characterization of the osteological ma­terial, the morphometric date calculated from the individual measurements, the morphometric data, and the several morpho­scopic characters as well as the rates of distribution of the mesurement categories are assessed per sex, and the facies of the partial population represented by the exposed cemetery is defined on these bases. As a result of the studies it can be established that the skull of the male series from Toponár is long, narrow, and that the mean value is situated, by the cranial index, near the upper limit of dolichocrany ; concerning its distribution, also doli­chocrany is represented in the highest percentage. The brain case is moderately high, with orthocrany characteristic accord­ing to the per cent distribution of the length-height index,
