The variation and abnormalities on the postcranial skeletons are as follows: Perforatio fossae olecrani humeri can be found in 21 cases. More frequently on the female than the male skeletons despite of their worse possibility of studying. Sacrum bifidum occurs in 12 cases. More frequently on the male than the female skeleton. Their possibility of studying is near equal. Sacralisation is observable on 3 male sacri (Table 7). Exostosis is very frequent. It can be seen in our material only on male (in 5 cases on the cranium, in 3 cases on the long bones). PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES, TREPHINATIONS Among the changes caused by undeterminable disease is relatively frequent the atrophia in our material. It can mostly be seen on the alveoli of gap-toothed mandible. Osteoprosis changes can be observed on more individuals' vertebrae, as well as on 3 female crania. Cribra orbitalia can be seen on 2 infans II . and 1 female orbita. Both of sides cribra orbitalia is shown on 1 in­fans I., 1 male and 1 female cranium. Status post fractum can only be seen on the female skeletons. On the right ulna of No. 75 female, on the left ulna of No. 346 one, on the left radius of No. 143 one, on the left tibia of No. 254 female are fractura compléta with dislocatio. Can be seen fractura on the nasal region of the No. 113 female. From the diseases of articulations the arthritis deformans is also very frequent occuring mainly on the male skeletons, in our material. Beyond the arthritis deformans trails of suppura­tion can also be observed on os sacrum of No. 21 male. An intense arthritis deformans can be experienced on the left capitulum humeri, on the left circumferentia articularis radii and on the left incisura trochlearis ulnae of No. 89 male. An extensive deformation can be found on the extremitas sternalis claviculae of No. 189, mainly on the right and less on the left side. The same deformation is observed on the right circumferentia articularis radii of No. 345 male and on the left processus condylaris radii of No. 387 male. Spondylitis deformans or spndylosis can be seen on 14 male and 5 female skeletons. Spondylarthritis ankylopoetica (BECHTEREW­disease) was developed as a result of chronic illness on the skeleton of No. 198 male. Impressiones digitate can be observed on the internal surface of No. 114 male cranium. Carcinoma metastasis can be seen on the cranium of No. 324 female. Among the diseases of teeth caries occurs frequently on the juvenile and the grow-ups (both males and females). Trails of cystae can be seen in mandible or maxilla in many cases. We have found deformations caused by shocking or cutting on 3 male skulls. Especially interesting is the skull No. 86, which has a trail of 65 mm length cutting on the right side of it' s os frontale. There can be seen an about 35 mm ienght aperture and trails of considerable growth of callus. There is a cavity finger tip on the skull No. 203 above the left orbita of os frontale and on other oval-form can be seen along sutura sagittalis of the skull No. 320. An oval-form (13x11 mm) symbolical trephination can be seen at bregma in sutura sagitta­lis of the female skull of 155. graves. There is a supposed symbolical trephination (25x22 mm) on the rigth os parietale of the female skull No. 324, a little right from sutura sagittalis, about 70 mm far from the meeting-point of sutura lambdoidea and sutura sagittalis. ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY TAXONOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS We considered the complex analysis of the characteristics the most important but we also analysed the characteristics individually to check the connect of registering of the principial race components (Tables 8, 9). The value of nasomalar angle is Mongoloid-like on 2 male (93., 164. graves) and 1 female (No. 178) crania. According to the averages both the male and female series are Europoid. The value of zygomaxillar angle is intermedier between the Europoid and Mongoloid values in 3 male crania (No. 91, 140, 151). All averages of male and female are Europoid. According to the dacryal subtense the value of 4 male (No. 90, 93, 116, 352) and 3 female (No. 134, 147, 354) is nearer to the Mongoloid values. On the basis of averages both males and females series are intermedier between the Europoid and Mongoloid averages.
