Analysing the values of simotical subtense (SS) we found values close to those of the Mongoloids on one male (3.0, Inv. number 10.588) and on one female skull (2.9, Inv. number 10. 624). The population examined has an average similar to that of the Europoids. The dacryal index (DS:DC) shows strong Mongoloid influence on the male skull Inv. number 10.611 and on the female skull Inv. number 10. 624 (the values of the index are: 39. 60 and 41. 39). The averages are Europoid-like. The simotical index (SS:SC) shows values similar to those of Mongoloids on the male cranium Inv. number 10.657 (40.0) and the female ones Inv. number 10.624 and 10. 651 (41.43 and 40.42). The mean values reflect Europoid character. The nasalspine angle (Martin 75^) comes from the difference of the total facial angle (Martin 72) and the nasal profile angle (Martin 75). Since the latter value was not measurable in any of the cases - neither on male nor on female crania - the nasalspine angle was not determinable. The value of the index of the malar arc (S:C) is Mongoloid-like in case of male crania Inv. number 10. 615 (23. 70) and 10. 666 (24. 10), and in case of the female cranium Inv. number 10. 596 (22. 22). The mean value of male and female series is intermediary between Europoid and Mongoloid values. In connection with S:C diagnosis, Tóth (1964, 1968) holds the view that data on the inflexion of malar arc are in themselves not suitable to determine primary taxonomical characteristics. However, they can well be used together with other data of facial flatness for the refinement of the analysis. The index of incisure maxillo-malar (or the index of the inflexion of os zygomaticum, IMMC:IMMS) is a complementary morphological characteristic of primary taxonomical importance. By calculating this index, Tóth (1962) contributed to the completion of facial flatness data in Hungarian literature. The deeper and shorter incisure maxillo-malar is the more characteristic it is of the Europoids. The datum of the chord of the maxillo-malar approaches the values of Mongoloids on male skulls and the values of Europoids on female skulls. The depth of fossa canina. The evaluability of the depth of fossa canina was also studied by Tóth (1967). In this view the fossa canina, owing to its considerable intra- and interracial variability cannot be interpreted as a primary taxonomical character; however, it might render valuable supplementary data in the character-complex. In case of the series of Esztergom, the data of the depth of fossa canina are Europoid-like. In case of the value of the b

izygomatic breadth

, (Martin 45) we got the following results: the arc of the zygoma is medium wide in botn (male and female) series. However, the small number of cases warns uatto be careful (Tables 6, 7, 19, and 21). It was proved during Tóth'

s examinations of the series of the Central Danubian Basin (1967) that great bizygomatic breadth does not necessarily mean Mongoloid influence. He holds bizygomatic breadth a secondary taxonomical character. Analysing all craniological characteristics together, we can state that in the male series of Esztergom on the skulls Inv. number 10. 611 and 10. 657 and in the female series on the skulls Inv. number 10. 624 and 10. 651. Mongoloid influence can be found though of minor importance. ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY TAXONOMICAL CHARACTERS Results concerning male and female series can be found in Table 4. Fourteen crania of the material of Esztergom were suitable for craniological analysis, 7 males and 7 females. We made no attempt here at characterizing the individual taxa, as they can be found in Lipták's university handbook (1969). Cromagnoid group. Cromagnoid-A: male cranium of grave 303 (with very slight Mongoloid influence). Cromagnoid-C: male cranium of grave 105 (Cr-C-x). Nordoid group. Mostly of Nordoid type: male cranium of grave 14 and female cranium of the lower stone grave (n-X). Mediterranean group. One male cranium is of the Gracile Mediterranean type: grave 54 (m-x, with Mongoloid influence). Atlanto-mediterranean group is represented by two female skulls: grave 25 (Inv. number 10.602 and Inv. number 10.661, scattered). Both are mixed with other taxa (am-x).
