8 cases in the sutura coronalis and on 4 individuals in the sutura sagittalis. Os epiptericum can be found on 8 crania, 4 on the right, 4 on the left side. Os bregmaticum occurs on 1 male skull. Os incae could be found on the crania of an infans individual and 2 males. One of those has a bipartite os incae. Bathrocephalia appears on the skulls of 2 males and 2 females. Crista frontale can be seen on 1 male cranium. Plagiocephalia is perceptible on 1 male and 1 female cranium. Perforatio fossae olecrani humeri appears in 6 cases (3 males and 3 females). Sacra- lizatio developed on 2 males' vertebral column. Spina bifida was found on 1 male's vertebra. Sacrum bifidum the lack of crista sacralis media could be seen in 8 cases. Six of them were partial ones (caudal or cranial) and 2 males had completely open sacrums. Spondylosis was recorded on the vertebrae of 4 males and 1 female. In summing up it can be stated that in the series of Fészerlak the anatomical variations and abnormalities appeared on a large scale. They occurred more frequently on the males' crania and skeletons than on those of females (Table 5). ANALYSIS OF LONG BONES Long bones of 32 males and 3 3 females were suitable for investigation. Left and right side have been separately treated in each case (Tables 8-10). Humerus. The mean value of the maximum length is 327 mm on the left, and 331. 5 mm on the right side in the case of males. Those of females are 290.9 mm and 290.2 mm, respectively. Thus, there is a notable sexual dimorphism. Bilateral difference was observed only in the case of males. The mean-value of the minimum circumference of the diaphysis is 61. 5 mm on the left, and 63. 1 mm on the right side in the case of males. The same for females are 54. 2 mm and 55. 3 mm. Both males and females are gracile as for robusticity index (males: 18. 6 and 18. 9, females: 18. 5 and 18. 5). Radius. Males have no difference between the two sides as for maximum length of radii. The right female radii are longer than the left ones according to the averages, the same holds true for the ulna. In comparing the length of radius and that of humerus we can state that both sexes are characteristic of dolichoker (relatively long) forearm. Femur. The mean-values of the maximum length are 449. 4 mm on the left, and 447. 8 mm on the right side in the case of males. The same for females are 410.8 mm and 410.0 mm. The minimum circumference of diaphysis: 89.0 mm and 89. 3 mm as well as 80.0 mm and 78. 4 mm. Regarding the robusticity index, the female femur is gracile while the male one is medium robust. The right male femora are more robust than the left ones. In the case of females the left femora are more robust than the right ones in general. Tibia. The mean-values of maximum length are 368.8 mm and 368. 0 mm for males, 333. 5 mm and 335. 7 mm for females. There is a considerable sexual dimorphism. The minimum circumferences are 73. 3 mm and 73. 2 mm for males and 65. 5 mm and 66. 7 mm for females. There is no bilateral difference in either sexes regarding the tibia. In drawing a parallel between males and females as regards robusticity index it can be seen that there is a little difference concerning the upper extremity and a considerable inequality concerning lower extremity (especially femur) for the males. The largest robusticity difference between the sexes was found in the case of right femur. Bilateral difference was perceptible from all aspects analysed for the right side in the case of males, being most distinct on the humerus. We believe that there must have been a notable difference between the usage of the left and the right hand. Bilateral difference was not found on the humerus in the case of females. Women probably used both hands in an equal proportion while doing their work. It is interesting that the left lower extremity was recorded to be more robust than right one. Stature of males is 166. 3 cm by Pearson's method and 167. 1 cm by Debets's method. Those of females are 153. 1 cm and 154.9 cm. Then the two methods produced similar results. The distribution of individual statures is as follows:
