For both sexes, the moderately broad group-frequency is characteristic (43 per cent in the males and 40 per cent in the females). A wide bizygomatic breadth was found in 21 per cent of the males, and in 40 per cent of the females. The frequency is narrow in 36 per cent of the males, and 20 per cent of the females. For a determination of the facial height, 69 per cent of the material was suitable. The majority of both the male (42 per cent) and the female (50 per cent) skulls is moderately high. The face of 25 per cent of the males and 17 per cent of the females is high. The frequency of the low face shows equal rates (33—33 per cents). It was possible to measure 76 per cent of the skulls for the upper face height. For both sexes, the frequency of the moderately high face is characteristic (males : 64 per cent, females: 50 per cent). One male and one female skull show a high upper face (7 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively). A very high upper face was observable on one skull only (7 per cent). A low upper face characterizes 22 per cent of the male, and 33 per cent of the female, skulls. Let us now examine the frequencies of the main index-groups of the skulls. The length-breadth index was determinable in 81 per cent of the adults. On the basis of examinations, the majority of both the male (47 per cent) and the female (67 per cent) skulls is medium (mesocranial). Long and very long (dolicho- and hy-
