—Sayan Range as well as in Kazahstan and Kirghizia, is not to be observed. We wish merely to illustrate, on the Neometallic finds originating from the Ural—Caspian zone, that, despite the approximately one thousand years of the Hun and Türk supremacy, the anthropological composition of the aboriginal Europoid ethnic groups remains unchanged, especially in the North Caspian Area, whereas the effects of the Mongoloid component are equally significant on both the European and the Asian side of the Ural. This is substantiated by the analysis of the anthropological finds of the Bahmuta culture (AKIMOVA, 1962 a) as well as the study of the racial mosaic of the Kimaks on the upper reaches of the Tobol (GLNSBURG, 1960 a, 1963 a). On the other hand, it should be noted that a shght Mongoloid effect (Table 4,9, Fig. 4), especially in the linear values of the nasal root, and the nasomalar angle can be observed in the finds, studied in an earlier paper (TÓTH, 1959) of the Sarmata period (IHrd—

Und centuries, B.C.), excavated at Starüe-Kiishki (SADTJEKOVA, 1962). If one assumes the ethnogenetic connexion of the middle Baskhirian Sarmates (St. Kiishki) with the population of the Bahmuta culture (Birsk), then, from the respective comparison, one can state a proportional increase of the Mongoloid component, enacted in about 500 years. In the fifth contact-zone of the Eurasian racial components, namely the Kama Basin, the dominant Mongoloid elements (TÓTH, 1958) gradually decrease from the Neometallic Time (Ananino culture) in the populations of the Pjanobor and Mazunino cultures (AKIMOVA, 1961 a, b, c, d). According to AKIMOVA, there is observable,
