ment, insofar as it is low. The total and upper face lengths of the Szebény mate­rial are low, as compared to the Kékesd findings. By comparing the main indices and stature values, it will be found that whereas the Kékesd females have a mesocranial - hypsicranial - metriocranial - eu­rymetopic - mesoprosopic - mesen - hypsiconch - chamaerrhinian character and a me­dium stature, those from Jutas differ by leptoprosopic - mesoconch - mesorrhinian features and a small medium stature, the Szebény population by brachycranial - or­thocranial - metriometopic - euryen - mesoconch - mesorrhinian characters and also a small medium stature, the Csákberény females by orthocranial - tapeinocranial ­stenometopic - mesoconch - mesorrhinian characters (no stature data had been pub­lished), and the Előszállás individuals by orthocranial - tapeinocranial - metrio­metopic - leptoprosopic features and a small medium stature. As a result of the comparative analysis, it can be stated that the females of Jutas stand relatively the nearest to the female findings from Kékesd. Let us now examine the distribution of the group-frequencies of the cranial, total and upper face indices revealed by the female skulls of the Transdanubian cemeteries. As regards the cranial index, the proportion of brachy- and hyperbra­chycrany is rather significant in all female findings, similarly to the Kékesd group (40 per cent): namely 54 per cent in Előszállás, 50 per cent in Szebény, and 43 per cent each in Jutas and Csákberény. The frequency of mesocrany is the highest in Szebény (50 per cent) and Csákberény (43 per cent) but considerably smaller in Kékesd, Előszállás, and Jutas (30, 23, 21 per cents, respectively). Long to very long are 36 per cent of the female skulls from Jutas, 30 per cent in Ké­kesd, 23 per cent in Előszállás, and 14 per cent in Csákberény. No dolicho- to hy­perdolichocranial skulls have been observed in the Szebény material. In analysing the facial Index, it appears that the proportion of skulls with a wide to very wide face is rather small in the Jutas findings (18 per cent) as also in the Kékesd ones (20 per cent), but relatively higher and of equal propor­tions in Szebény and Csákverény (33 per cents each), whereas it was not observable In the Előszállás material. Skulls with a medium wide face are most frequent in Csákberény (66 per cent), Kékesd (60 per cent), and Előszállás (50 per cent), the ratio decreasing in Szebény (33 per cent),and reaching its smallest value in Jutas (9 per cent). The proportion of lepto- to hyperleptoprosopic skulls is equally significant in the Jutas and Előszállás materials (73, 50 per cents), less in Sze­bény (33 per cent) and Kékesd (20 per cent), and entirely absent in Csákberény. In comparing the upper face index, it can be observed that female skulls with wide to a very wide upper face did not occur in Kékesd, Csákberény, and Előszállás, and only to a small extent in Jutas (8 per cent); it was the most frequent in the Szebeny material (60 per cent). The proportion of skulls with a medium wide upper face is the highest in Kékesd and Előszállás (100 per cents each), significant in Jutas (50 per cent), considerably smaller in Szebény (20 per cent), and absent in the Csákberény material. Skulls with a narrow to very narrow upper face are the most frequent in Csákberény (100 per cent), decreasing in Jutas to 4L per cent and still further in Szebény (20 per cent); none were observable in the Kékesd and Előszállás materials. The results of the analysis of the value distributions with respect to the main indices show that the Előszállás material stands relatively nearest to the female findings deriving from the cemetery at Kékesd.
