The females show the greatest similarity to those of the series of Budapest-környéke and to the females of Környe - quite contrary to the males. The greatest difference exists between the females of CsepelSzabadkikötő and those of Áporkai-Ürbőpuszta and BudapestNépstadion. A certain difference can be found regarding upper face height - orbital cavity index and orbital cavity index - nasal index relationships in this case too. The females of Áporkai-Ürbőpuszta are similar to the females of CsepelSzabadkikötő while the females of Környe are different. I remark that the female series of Csepel-Szabadkikötő is similar to the females of the series of Solymár. Unfortunately I could not draw this cemetery into the present comparison as I analysed it only at a later date. COMPARISON OF FACIAL FLATNESS DATA I utilized the averages of 8 comparative series (BOTTYÁN 1966, TÓTH 1970) beside the averages calculated for Europoids, Mongoloids, 7th-8th Century Avars (TÓTH 1958) and for Conquering Hungarians (TOTH 1965) (Tables 14, 15, Figures 11-22). No analysed series offered close resemblances to the males, but the male series of Előszállás-Bajcsihegy and Üllő I were the most similar, as in the topographical representation too. The males of Váchartyán are the most dissimilar. The female series of Csákberény and Környe are the most similar. In some aspects they are fairly close to the averages calculated for the Avars, The female series of Vác-Kavicsbánya is also similar, though to a lesser extent. The females of Budapestkörnyéke and of Üllő I are the least similar. They considerably differ in a good number of aspects from the averages calculated for Europoids as well as from those of the Conquering Hungarians. The results of the two methods are partly the same and partly contrasting. The closest series of males are the same: Előszállás-Bajcsihegy, Üllő I. It is only partly true for the females. Környe proved to be similar by both methods. The females of Budapest-környéke are similar according to the topographical representation but they are different according to the analysis of facial flatness data. SUMMARY Because of the reasons mentioned in the introduction of the study it would be a mistake to try to establish ancestry or kinship relations. However, a question emerges. The females of certain series (Solymár, Budapestkörnyéke, Vác-Kavicsbánya), from the geographical proximity of our series, are anthropologically similar. The males of the same group of series are markedly dissimilar at the same time. It is possible that these females represented to some extent the autochthonous population found here. On the other hand, they also bore the anthropological characteristics integrated by the way of marriages at previous locations and in earlier times. The fact that they approach the Avars' average values in some comparisons points to this. The males are similar to the male population of some geographically more distant cemeteries, but this is not sufficient evidence to take their mutual kinship for granted. REFERENCES ALEXEYEV, V.
