Medium and low values are characteristic for the height of both the entire and the upper face. Also rather narrow, medium broad values are found for the facial breadth. The index values show a higher dispersion, but here, too, the meso-dolichomorphic characters are more frequent. For the length-breadth indices, meso-dolichocrany has a greater frequency. For the height indices, the males given higher values, whereas the females display an even dispersion in both index groupings. Broad foreheads dominate. The facial skull remained entire in a very few cases only; mesoleptoprosopy seems to be more frequent. The orbita are rather low, with high orbitals only in the females. The index values of the nose refer to chamaerrhiny /Table X/. I have compared the absolute measurements with HOWELLS

' mean sigmas, calculating the S.R. values /Table IX/. The single values either approach or reoede from the value of the normal dispersion, which refers to the variation of the respective characteristics. For the mean sigma ratio of the S.R. valu es, however, values very near to the normal distribution are received, 101,1 for the males, and 91,6 for the females /22/. These results seem to substantiate our visual observation, namely that the population is homogeneous within a rather well narrowable variational scale. Of the morphological characteristics, the occipital arc displays a general curvooccipitaly. The forehead is generally medium high, slightly arouate. The glabella is weakly developed. The orbital is generally subrectangular, Sometimes angular, a high, round orbital seldom occurs. The facies malaris is low, the arcus zygomaticus thin. Neither a very deep nor an entirely filled up fossa canina occurs, it is generally shallow, medium deep. The mandible is graoile, strongly attenuating toward the mentum, the trigonum mentale is expressed, the genial process slightly projecting. Taxonomic problems The entirety of the population belongs to the Europoide great race. On the basis fo the characteristics given in the individual descriptions and the general discussion, this large group can be subdivided into rather well delimited units. Only 20 individuals /11 females and 9 males/, therefore merely 30 per cent of all adults, are suitable for a detailed morphological analysis. It were therefore illusory to submit a percental distribution, therefore I had grouped them according to their size as occupied within the totality of the findings. The forms relegable to these subgroups can obviously also be found in the material not exactly Identifiable, due to its fragmentary state. Group I.I There is a sharply delimited small, mesocranial, eurymesoprosopio, ohamaeoonch-subrectangular, chamaerrhinian, high stature, athletically shaped subgroup /Graves 124, 177; males/, whose morphologic picture displays a definitely Cromagnoid character-complex /21/. This type is a characteristic and dominant element of prehistoric populations /Table 1,2/. Group II. I The next, most populous group /Graves 1, 22, 45, 120, 140, females; Graves 2, 40.b, 155, males/ are characterized by meso-dolichocrany

, meso-leptoprosopy, narrow brain case, gracile facial skull, broad forehead, gracile structure and medium stature. Their character-complex is well identifiable with the gracile Keűiterranan type /11, 12, 14/. Besides this group, one can separate, on the bania of convergent characteristics and connected to it, a less
