faces of the caput femoris . - A slight degree of periostitis on the tibia of a mature male (Grave 74) can also be observed. Develop me n t a 1 anomalies. Several, kinds of anomalies are collectively discussed here. - The left caput femoris and the left pelvic acetabulum of an adult female (Grave 75) are deformed ,probably owing to a congenital dysplasia of the hip. The shaft of the left femur is accordingly thinner than that of the right one. r Plagiocrany could be observed in two males and two females. - Phenomena referring to disorders in ossification were observed in the following cases: on the left side of the pars basilaris of the os occipitale in two adult females (Graves 11,31) an incomplete transversal fissure could be observed, an anomaly seldom occurring in adults (AUGIER, 1931, p. 188); - on the os occipitale of an adult male (Grave 55), suturai traces were observable on the right side, at the meeting of the pars lateralis and the squama occipitalis; - traces of a sutura mendosa were visible on the os occipitale of another adult male (Grave 2). Dentition. The frequency of caries and teeth lost ante-mortem, as well as the chronic abscess cavities, were investigated only in individuals between 20-60 years of age.The frequency of caries (regardless of the number of caries per tooth) occurs in 4.8 per cent of all surviving teeth in the males and in 6.2 per cent in those of the females. (No caries on the deciduous teeth have been observed in the material of the Infans age groups.) The frequency of teeth lost ante-mortem was 19.8 per cent in the males and 33.2 per cent in the females, the percentages related to the number of present teeth-places.The occurrence of chronic abscess cavities was observable in 21.1 per cent of the males and 33.3 per cent of the females. Teeth standing more sparsely than normal were found in three females (Graves 3,11, 37), and denser than normal in one female (Grave 24). - Treme between the two upper incisors was observable in one' male (Grave 55). - Abnormal teeth position appeared in two females (Graves 21, 23); in one case the right upper canine, in the other one the left lower canine, was in an oblique position. - Aplasia occurred in one female (Grave 66); in this case the left upper incisor was missing, replaced by the canine. The right upper second incisor was rudimentary in the same individual. - I found the sockets of two deciduous teeth roots, beside the left upper canine of a male (Grave 64) and the right upper canine of a female (Grave 66). Trephinat ions. All three types of trephining found on the skulls of materials originating from the tenth century in the Central Danubian Basin occur in the Kál population. Symbolic trephination, a usually small-sized, circular and shallow depression, not penetrating the endocranial surface of the skull-, was observable on the skull of a male individual, about 46 years old (Grave 17). This skulls show the traces of three symbolic trephinations. Two of them are placed oppositely, on the right and left side of the parietals, between
