found in a remarkably great quantity. The mammoth finds together with the remains of other animals (JÄNOSSY & VÖRÖS 1979) were in allochthonous position. 13. Mende-Téglagyár (Brick-Field) In 1961 mandibulae and skeletal parts came to light from the quarry of the brick-field more exactly from the bottom of a quarry profile being 17-18 m deep (KEMENCZEI 1961). Later on additional mammoth remains of also allochthonous position were found between 9 and 10 m from a sandy loess layer (PÉCSI 1965). The remains of several individuals of various ages have been transported to the Collection of the Hungarian Geological Institute. From an incomplete skeleton of an animal of 30-40 years old only the fragments of praemaxilla and of frontale are preserved. An extremely rich paleontological material have been coming to ligth from the Tisza Valley, first of all from the area of the Middle Tisza Valley. The intact or fragmentary skullB existing even today originated from this area. 14. The bed of Tisza at Fegyvernek The find was dredged out from the Tisza at the end of the last century, it consists of the left half of the neurocranium. The find is in the Paleontological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (inv.no.: V.63.35.). The maxilla with the molars and the praemaxilla are broken off. The frontal ridge of the skull is fragmented. On the medial fracture of the skull the enormous sinus frontalis, crista and laminae ossae can well be seen. The smallest height of the diploe (cerebral cavity-forehead) is 300 mm. The median-sagittal length of the cerebral cavity is 265 mm, its height is 120 mm. The rostrum of the nasal bone is intact, long (150 mm), its base is wide (210 mm). The skull fragment belongs to a mature bull. The data of the skull are in Table 2. 15. The bed of Tisza at Fokoru At the end of the last century a nearly complete skull got into the Hungarian National Museum (KOCH 1900). The find does not exist any more. 16. The bed of Tisza at Szolnok A. In 1813 a skull fragment was dredged out from the Tisza (KUBINYI 1864, KOCH 1900). The find does not exist any more. B. A completely intact skull with dentition in situ was dredged out from the Tisza. It is smaller than the previous one (KUBINYI 1864, KOCH 1900). It haB been transported the National Museum in 1850 (MNM.GÄO.J.). Now the skull can be seen in the Paleontological Exhibition of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Inv.no.: V.

60.1799.) (Pl.I., Fig. 1) It is a skull of a mature mammoth cow. The frontal ridge of the skull is damaged at the right side. The tusks are missing. Comparing the skull with that of a mammoth bull found at Debica (Poland, KUBIAK 1980) the following can be established: - our mammoth skull is smaller, Its surface is more rounded; - it is vertically lower, horizontally longer; - the region of the occipitale is leaning forward to a greater degree, its acrocranion is of anterior position; - its forehead plane is slightly convex; - the nostrils are narrower, - the praemaxilla 1B shorter, narrower, it is leaning forward to a lesser degree; - the fossa praemaxillaris is shallow; - there is a deep fossa between the praemaxilla and maxilla and the foramines supraorbitales. The skull was measured by DUBROVO'B method (DUBROVO 1960) (Fig. 2). The data of the skull are in Table 2. The only parts remained are the M

, at the left hand side are already closed, and on the surfaces within the shelf of the alveoluB a Bhallow scabrous impression was created. It is highly possible that the right side M

2 was fallen out later because the alveoli of roots are still open. The data of M
