of evaluations. Thus my material was reduced to 435 items, namely 255 male and 180 female skulls. The male and female data were treated separately. Among the measurements taken by the HEINTZ — method, the senile data were also included. In the other, fragmentary and injured skulls, I was unable to measure in identical numbers the palatal lengths and breadths, by either the MARTIN or the HEINTZ methods. The Hungarian sample is more homogeneous than HEINTZ'S had been, since it consisted of only Europoide and partly of Europo-Mongoloide racial elements. This homogeneity was substantiated also by the geographical uniformity of the localities. The volume of the sample is essentially bigger than that of HEINTZ'S. Graphs 5—8.
