groups studied are generally characterized by a quite narrow and medium inclinated forehead. The slight form occurs with a significant frequency beyond this. Weakly developed supraorbital zone prevails in every group of the Hungarian male population. All the Hungarian groups seem to be quite gracile not only according to the degree of the development of the supraorbital zone, but according to their extension from the median sagittals. The male groups of Hungary can be characterized by a medium and somewhat greater body length (166.0-170.6 cm). The minimal values of this trait have been found in the South-West, in Göcsej (Milejszeg), whereas the maximal ones in the North part of Hungary (Szendrő). As far as the geographical distribution of stature is concerned, accumulation of high stature persons can be observed in the Middle Tisza-region (Jászság and Southern Palócs with Matyós). The Cis-Uralian and Kazakhstan foreign groups are characterized by somewhat smaller stature than the local groups of Hungarians. When considering all the groups studied, high stature characterizes the Southern Ossets. The connections of some metric traits can be summarized in the correlation-coefficients between the longitudinal and transverse diameters. These are in Hungary: + 0.326. The geographical distribution of these coefficients does not reveal any regularity and no parallelism with the cephalic index could be observed. Having done a comparative analysis the highest positive correlation could be stated between the bizygomatic and mandibular diameters (for Hungary: 0.458). Body length seems to be to some slight extent stronger correlated with the morphological facial height (for Hungary: 0.294) than with the bizygomatic diameters (for Hungary: 0.211). Similar correlations were found by Levin (1971) between body length and the measurements of facial skeleton in a very wide contingent of Japanese. It provided evidence for the larger Species unity of some representatives of recent Eurasian populations. CHAPTER 3 CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE EUROPOID AND MONGOLOID COMPONENTS This chapter contains all material which helped us to elucidate the central problem about the main components of the Eurasian continent in the morphological composition of recent Hungarians. The meaning of morphological peculiarities of Mongoloid great-race with a high frequency in the anthropological composition of the Hungarian people has a very long research history. Bartucz (1939, 1943) outlined some distributional loci of the "Mongoloid types" which are different to the Mongoloid ones, i.e. they are only "Mongol-likes". According to him the first of the mentioned loci is represented by the ethnographic zone of the Palóc situated in the Northern part of Hungary (the counties Nógrád, Heves and Borsod) where the frequency of the "Mongoloid types" is as high as 35-40 percent. The second locus of these types lies in the North-West Transdanubia where they are represented with a significantly lesser frequency. The Middle-Tisza region can be considered a third locus with the territories of Jászság and Kunság, with a not significant frequency. Bartucz took into consideration some peculiarities of the face, of the pigmentation and body-height in the analysis of this problem. But he did not apply the ball scale-system in studying the scopic traits. The author of present dissertation shares Debets's (1951) and Jarcho's (1934) views that the taxonomical value of some scopic traits is much higher than that of the metric traits in connection with their wide-ranging areality and philogenetical entailment. The following morphological traits were taken into consideration for the analysis of the Mongoloid character: beard growth, chest hair growth, frequency of epicanthus, expressiveness of the proximal part of the upper eyelid-plica, position of the eye slit, axis,
