. of the examined 12 features. Among the 10 characteristics studied on the post-cranial hones, only the caput femoris indicates, as compared to other series, a medium rate masculine character. Therefore the sexual character of especially the post-cranial bones of the males at Kál is the one which is weakly expressed - well illustrated by the mean value 0.50. The weak masculine character of the male post-cranial bones is expressed not only by the morphological features, but also by two indices of sex determination measured on the pelvic bones. When compared with the values of the three other series in Table 8, it becomes apparent that the values of both the ischio-pubis index and the cotylo-ischiatic index approach the most the female values in the case of Kál. The sexual character of the female skeletons is well expressed in both the cranial and the post-cranial bones, as is to be seen in Table 6. Variability and morphological characteristics The calculated parameters of the examined skeletal material are contained in Table 9. The rates of the standard deviations of the examined cranial measurements arid indices have been calculated, for both the males and the females, as related to the mean sigma values of ALEKSEYEV-DEBETZ (1964)(Table 10). The mean sigma ratio is higher than the mean sigma for the measurements and indices of the brain case, but very much lower for those of the facial skeleton and the jaw. An extremely high variability appears in the value of the nasalspine angle for both sexes. Significantly high standard deviations have been found in merely 4 (10.3 per cent) of the 39 examined measurements and indices of the males, namely in the biasterionic breadth (12), the orbital height (52), the nasalspine angle (75/l), and the breadth-height index (17:8). In the case of the females

,significantly high standard deviations were found also in 4 characteristics: the maximum cranial breadth (8),the maxillo-alveolar length (60), the nasalspine angle (75/1),and the length-breadth index (8:1). At the same time, significantly low standard deviations have been found in three (7.7 per cent) values: the basion-bregma height (17), the bicondylar breadth (65), and the chin height (69). In general, therefore, the population at Kál appears to be less mixed, especially the females, and the occurrence of relatively higher variabilities is delimited chiefly to the characteristics of the brain case.The high standard deviations of the values of the nasalspine angle indicates the presence of the Europoid and Mongoloid great races in the material. Now, if the distribution of these same measurements and indices within
