wherein, however, the male and female values, respectively, we­re obtained from the arithmetic mean of the limit values of the middle class of Debets' s classification (the assumable mean va­lues referring to the whole of mankind). Values calculated by this method are therefore to be regarded a3 rough approximati­ons of the mean value of sexual dimorphism. The third column of the Table contains the difference (correct as to sign) between the first two columns, that is or to ""hat rate (in what iegree) the rate of the sexual dimorphism appearing in the population of the Oroszvár cemetery deviates from a sexual dimorphism as­sumed as average. Examining the value of this last column, it can be established at the first glance that the rate of the sexual dimorphism of the population discussed is in general es­sentially smaller than that of the assumably average sexual di­morphism. Concerning the analysis of the primary taxoncmic characteris­tics, it 3hould be emphasized that to determine the main racial components it is not only the analysis of the characters one by one which is important, - the evaluation of their complex is even more essential (TÓTH 1962b, 1964, 1967). Table 4 shows the male and female mean values of the characte­ristic for which ALEXSYEV-DEBET S established values characte­ristic of Europoids and Mongoloids, respectively, given in co­lumns 2 and 3 of this Table. As is to be seen, the arithmetic means of the Oroszvár cemetery lie around the Europoid values. Analysing the Europoid and Mongoloid components of the series studied, one male and one female skull were found to be Europe­Mongoloid, while a small rate Mongoloid strain appears in one male skull. The other crania of the series are Europoid. Accor­dingly, the series can be considered homogeneous by the primary taxonomic features. With regard to the secondary taxonomic characteristics, sub­groups of various numbers of skulls, each containing preponde­rantly Cromagnoid, TTordoid, Mediterranean, brachycranial, and
