A Fig. 4. Group range of variability of some Hungarian palm lines and triradius t compared with Kazakhs (A) and Russians (B), the latters taken as zero right, and in type D 11 to the positive side (+) from the Kazakhs, and to negative (—) side from the Russians. As to types 3 A and 5, their Hungarian minimal and maximal values deviate from those of the Kazakhs almost equally; from the Russians type 5 A differs negatively and type 3 A —very a little to the left (—) and to a large distance to the right (+). The Hungarian arithmetical mean, marked in the figures by a thick line, deviates from those of the Kazakhs and Russians in the very same direction than their minimal and maximal values. Thus, a survey of the graphs has shown that though the Hungarians occupy a condition intermediate between the Kazakhs and the Russians, at the same time they are very close to the Russians in the majority of dermatoglyphical characteristics. In our previous works (see References) we discussed the dermatoglyphics of Hungarians in connection with their ethnogenesis. It has been shown that the Hungarians in dermatoglyphical traits are on the whole within the variation characteristic for Caucasoid peoples and are close to southern Europeans. The extreme variability, dispersity and crossing similarity between the different groups of present Hungarians reflect the completed historical process of the anthropological type formation of the Hungarian people. Let us and so on find the correlative position of each from studied by us 26 local Hungarian groups against a background of Kazakhs and Russians. For the comparison of the Hungarian groups we devised a complex of some traits, the frequency of which is evidently different in Mongoloids and Europoids. In this complex we have included the following traits: archs, loops (radial and ulnar) and whorles on the fingers; the patterns on hypothenar, interdigital pads III and IV, the type 11 D, the carpal axial triradius (t)—on the palms. From the abovementioned traits we calculated the mean sums of positive and negative deviations from the conventional zero-group Kazakhs (Fig. 5). We have also given the deviation of the Russians from the zero-group. On Fig. 5 they are linked by a straight line,
