(6.-.-.2); the index has the same value with the formula 8. 6. 5'. 5' (3.-.-.5). Meanwhile, the termination of line D in field 11 is included in type 11 D, in field 8 - in type 7 D. Inspite of these both of the mentioned indices are of great value because they obviously reflect the total pattern intensity of finger and palm dermatoglyphics. For this reason in respect of these traits we compared our groups separately with Russians (PROKUDINA 1971) and Khazakhs (GLADKOVA 1964). Delta index and Cummins index have the values for Russians 12.59 and 8.72, whereas for Khazakhs 14.93 and 8.08, respectively. The distribution of the studied Hungarian groups according to these indices is given in Fig. 3, in which Russians (14) are situated in the upper part of the diagram to the left, whereas Khazakhs (15) in the lower part to the right. The majority of the Hungarian samples is located between the two groups. The groups Mezőkövesd (6) and Kustánszeg (13) have a special place in the diagram because they are characterized by the lowest values of the Cummins index. In comparison to the other groups these two samples are characterized by the lowest frequencies of types 11 D and 5 A, too. Thus, on the whole, the Hungarian male series studied by us are within the limits of the variation characteristics for Europoids in respect of the majority of different dermatoglyphic traits as well as the complexes of palm and finger patterns. Beyond that dispersity and crossing similarity between groups could be observed in respect of a number of traits. Having included the new data about the dermatoglyphical traits of the groups Szendrő (31) and Kustánszeg (32) in our analyses the slight influence of "Mongoloidity"could be shown in the northern regions of Hungary, especially in the villages Szendrő and Taktabáj. The slight admixture may be to some degree explained by the preservation of some morphological features inherited from eastern tribes that arrived in the territory of Hungary at the end of the first millenium - beginning of the second. Similarly to the above mentioned dermatoglyphics somatological and odontological data also confirm the prevalence of different components from the Europoid racial stock in mosaic composition of the Hungarian male population (TOTH 1977).
