anthropological series, namely that of Sárbogárd. The radio-humeral (dolichokerky ) index for both the left and right long bones, and the cnemic index (eurycnemic ), agree in both the Sárbogárd and Sopronbánfalva series. The other measurements and indices are different. The humeri of the Sárbogárd material are longer, their circumference greater,the pilaster of the femora stronger and more muscular.According to the platymeric indices, the femora are flatter. The examined male group of Sárbogárd is tallér than that of Sopronbánfalva. In want of a suitable method, comparison as to heterogeneity was made by a comparison of the standard mean deviations. The vaules are 6,04 for Sárbogárd and 13,94 for Sopronbánfalva, indicating a high rate of heterogeneity in thé the Sopronbánfalva series as related to the Sárbogárd material. The material of Mohács-Csele yields only mean values and no deviations, hence a short comparison could be made only on the basis of the mean values. In this connection,the fact should be emphasized that ,according to the value of the radiohumeral Index, the lower arm is shorter in relation to the upper arm: a case exactly opposite to that found in the Sopronbánfalva series.The femora originating from Mohács-Csele are more robust, hence the males from Mohács-Csele are stronger and more muscular than the gracile males from Sopronbánfalva. With respect to the other series originating from the Árpád Age, the authors of the Fonyód series published very few data referring to the long bones, hence no meritorious comparison can be made. Summary The relevant and significant remarks concerning the material may be summarized in three points. 1. Owing to lack of identification of the archeological findings, the material, deriving from a very extensive period (XI-XV c), can be discussed only collectively . 2. Of the material of the excavated 41 graves, 29 skeletons are male. Accordingly, only the male series was evaluated. 3. Owing to the small number of female skeletons, it seems justified to assume that the females have been interred on the other side of the church, where the presence of houses prohibits any further excavations. With regard to the examined material, the following inferences can be made: 1. The material is homogeneous on the basis of the ürimary taxonomic characters. Only Europoide elements are represented. Concerning the secondary characters, however, the series is slightly heterogeneous and can be separated into two subgroups : a. Cro-Magnoide B and Mediterranoide in the majority; b. Cro-Magnoide A and Nordic in a smaller percentage. 2. Comparisons on the basis of mean values imply that the findings deriving from cemeteries in the eleventh century at Kérpuszta, at Zenta-Paphalom, and from those in the tenth to fifteenth centuries in Germany and Switzerland, stand the nearest to our material. 3. Owing to the small amount of the material, no inferences should be made as to ethnic relegation.
