In the correlation field of this graph it may be seen at first sight that the territorial distribution of the Hungarian groups corresponds to the distribution of the single traits (GLADKOVA &TOTH 1977). So, for example, the western group Himód (N = 8) and the eastern Matolcs (N = 20) are side by side; the south-western groups Őrség (N == 1) and Milejszeg (N = 2) are close to the group Kunhegyes (N = 3) from the Middle Tisza Region. Yet on the whole all the groups are localized rather close to each other. It is possible only to note that the northeastern groups Taktabáj (N = 7) and Szendrő (N = 12) and also the eastern group Rozsály (N = 21) are clustered in the side of some "Mongoloidity" of dermatoglyphical complex. The western group Kisfalud (N =11) and Kunmadaras (N — 26) from the Middle Tisza Region are far removed from the zero-group in the side of the positive deviations ("Caucasoid"). — Hungarian mean group arrangements (N = 27) are close to the middle of the line O-group (Kazakhs — Russians! No 28!). The frequencies of Hungarian finger patterns in the data of ABEL (1940), BONNEVIE (1929), GYENIS (1975), MALÁN (1939) and THOMA (1969) are within the range of variation of our data (Table 5). Let us now give a comparison of the skin patterns of Hungarians (mean Hungarian) with the Ugro-Finnish, Slavic and other peoples (Table 6, Fig. 3). In the correlations field (Fig. 3) the most remote in the "Caucasoid" direction from zerogroup are the Rumanians (No. 14), the Russians (No. 1), Hungarians from Budapest (No. 16), Avars (No. 5), Finns (No. 10). — In the left lower corner Uzbekian Madzhars (No. 8) are placed, who, as well as the Kazakhs, are related to the South-Siberian anthropological type (GINZBURG 1951). They are followed by the Bashkirs (No. 4), the Ivdel-Mansis (No. 12), the Udmurts (No. 18) and Komy-permyaks (No. 17), who are characterized by traits of the Ural race mixed with Caucasoid and Mongoloid components. — The Khants (No. 13), typical representative of the Ural-race, occupy a specific place in this field by their dermatoglyphical traits. The Hungarian (No. 20) is placed among the following groups: the Mansi ivdelsky (No. 12), the Komi-permyaki (No. 17), the Udmurts from Bashkiria (No. 18). Besides this. Fig. 3. The arrangement of the compared groups in respect of eight finger and palm traits: 1 = Russians (Prokudina 1971); 2 = Belorussians (ANTONYUK 1975); 3 = Ossets (PETRENKO 1977); 4 = Bashkirs (AKIMOVA 1972); 5 = Avars (GADZIEV 1962); 6 = Andiicis (GLADKOVA & RAMAZANOV 1977); 7 = Ginuchcis (GLADKOVA & RAMAZANOV 1977); 8 = Madzharis (GLADKOVA & TÓTH 1970) ; 9 =Asis (GLADKOVA & TÓTH 1970); 10 = Finns (HIT 1969); 11 = Lappo (KHAZANOVA 1971) ; 12 = Mansi ivdelsky (GLADKOVA 1961); 13 = Khants, r. Vach (GLADKOVA & HIT 1968); 14 = Rumanians, Bran Valley (VULPE 1972); 15 = Lunigians, North Italy (FORMICOLA 1975); 16 = Hungarians, Budapest (MALÁN 1939, 1940); 17 = Komi permyaki (GLADKOVA 1961); 18 = Udmurts (AKIMOVA 1972); 19 = Svans (GLADKOVA 1958); 20 = Hungarian mean.
