(as to their distribution, the ratio of occurrence of all categories is the same, except the "very high" category). Nose is of medium breadth and low. According to the indices, facial skeleton is euryprosopic (hypereuryprosopic and mesoprosopic, both in 50 %) and euryen. Orbita is chamaeconch (50 % is hyperchamaeconch). Nose is chamaerrhine (leptorrhine and mesorrhine, both 33%). Palate is mesostaphyline (Tables 3 and 6). Orbita is usually rectangular or subractangular. Lower edge of nasal aperture is mostly anthropine. Spina nasalis anterior is medially developed, generally of degrees 3 and 4. Fossa canina is deep or medium deep. Alveolar prognathy is expressed in the majority of cases (Table 2). Stature on the basis of average calculations according to Breitinger' s method is great medium (this is the most frequent category also according to the distribution). Calculated by the Manouvrier'

s and Pearson's method, stature is medium (according to their distribution), short medium and great medium are more frequent (Tables 8 and 26). Females

: Brain-case is medium long, according to the mean values (short, long and medium long skulls in almost the ratio), wide and medium high. Brain-case on the basis of calculated indices is brachycranic (75% hypsicranic), metriocranic and stenometopic (Tables 3 and 7). Skull circumference in norma verticalis is ovoid and pentagonoid in the majority of cases. Glabella is weakly developed, generally of degrees 2 and 1. Arcus superciliaris is flat or discernible, protuberantia occipitalis externa is weakly developed, of degrees 0 and 1. Processus mastoideus is small or medially developed (Table 2). Facial skeleton' s characteristics as follows: medium wide zygomatic arc with medium bizygomatic breadth (narrow and medium wide middle face in 50-50 %). Face and upper face are both low (medium high and high upper face both 38%). Orbita is narrow (medium breadth occurs in the greatest, part 66 %), categories very high and very low are the most frequent (44 % and 33 %, respectively). Nose is of medium breadth (very narrow and medium breadth noses are both 33 %), and low (by distribution, the medium high nose is frequent, 33%). Facial skeleton is mesen on the basis of the indices (lepten and euryen are both 50%). Orbita is mesoconch (chamaeconch, mesoconch, hypsiconch ones all have a 22% share). Nose is mesorrhine, palate, is brachystaphyline (Tables 3 and 7). Orbita is rounded in the majority of cases. Lower edge of nasal aperture is usually anthropine, but sulcus praenasalis is very relatively frequent. Spina nasalis anterior is medially developed, generally of degree 3. Fossa canina is medium deep. Alveolar prognathy is expressed in the majority of cases (Table 2). Stature on the average is great medium, calculated by Bach' s method (high is the most frequent by distribution). Calculated by Manouvrier's and Pearson's method, stature is short medium (almost all categories occur, but none of them has decisive majority) (Tables 8 and 27). ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS AND ABNORMALITIES Sutura metopica occurs on one female cranium (1.39 %) (grave 55, Inv. number 10.614). This rate is smaller than the one established by Wenger (1974) for series of the Arpadian age. Ón the other hand, it is closer to the percentage experienced by Roginsky (1955). Development of sutura metopica, that is, the existence of sutura frontalis is considered by some authors as a pathological case; others explain it-with an increase in pressue of the brain or with the derangement of the hormone system, or with the loosening of masticulatory muscle activity (Roginsky 19 55). Os apicis is perceptible on the female skulls of grave 80 (Inv. number 10. 652) and 122 (Inv. number 10. 620) (2. 78 %). Os apicis bipartitum also occurs on a female cranium (grave 25, Inv. number 10.602). These are altogether three cases, that is 4. 17 % of the series, and it is more frequent than the rate experienced by Wenger (1974). The frequency of occurrence of ossa wormiana is very close to the 17.4% of the Arpadian age (Wenger 1974), moreover, it surpasses the value noticed by Wenger. By the way,
