index. The brain cases of both sexes are narrow: their forms bir so sphenoidal (especially for the males); ovoid and pentagono-rhomboidal (females). The foreheads of the males are broad (eurymetopic), those of the females are broad —medium-broad . Viewed from the norma lateralis the brain-cases of both males and females are medium-high (basion-bregma) , and low (porion-bregma). The length-height index of male skulls is high (hypsicraneous), while that of the females is high and medium-high (hypsi-orthocraneous) . In regard to breadth-height the skulls of both sexes are medium-high (metriocraneous) . The glabellar region of the males is developed (BROCA IV), while those of the females smooth (BROCA I —II). The occiput of both sexes is curvoccipital, in some cases only moderately so. Viewed from norma occipitalis the brain-cases of both sexes are house-shaped. b. Facial skeleton. Thenasion-gnathionheight of males is medium-high, that of the females, mediumhigh —low. The nasion-prosthion height of both sexes is medium-high —low. The bizygomatic breadth of males is medium broad, that of females is medium-broad —broad. The facial index of males is medium-broad (mesoprosopic) whereas for the females the character was not distinguishable due to the small number of cases. The upper facial breadth-height index of both sexes is medium-broad (mesenic) . The facial outline angle of both sexes is orthognathous; the alveolar outline angle is pro-mesognathous. The orbita of both sexes are low, or medium-high (chamae-mesoconchous) . The shape of the orbita is subrectangular. The males have broad (chamaerrhinec), the females narrow (leptorrhinec) or broad (hyperchamaerrhinec) noses. The nasal ridge of males is straight, while that of the female is concavo-convex. Among the males the lower margin of the apertúra piriformis is anthropine type, while among the females it is anthropine or with fossa praenasalis. The fades molaris of males is intermediary, while among females it is in a lateral position. The fossa canina of both sexes is medium deep or shallow. The maxilla and bony palate of both sexes is medium-broad or broad (mesuranic-brachyuranic, resp. brachystaphyline) . с Mandible. The breadth-length index of the lower jaw of males is rather medium-long (mesognathic) , and that of females is rather short (br achy gnathic) . The gonion region of both sexes is slightly developed. The teeth are small. d. Post-cranial skeleton. The stature of males is medium and that of the females is medium and medium-tall. The proportion of upper and lower extremities is harmonic (normosomic radio-humeral and tibiofemoral indices). The clavicula of the males is robust; this character could not examined for the females. The diaphyses of the humerus and ulna of both sexes are round (eurybrachic, eurolenic). Perforatio fossae olecrani are more frequently found among females than among males. The length-breadth index of the sacrum is broad for both sexes (platyhieric) . Among males the anterior upper horizontal axis slants on both sides (hypobasalic), while among females it is straight (homobasalic) . Among both sexes the pelvic inlet is relatively broad, broadly ovalshaped. Distinct sulcuspraeauricularis is found only among females. The upper section of the femur diaphyses among both sexes is flat (platymeric), the pilaster is weakly developed. The curving of the diaphysis is more expressed in the upper third (clastomorphic). The tibia diaphyses of both sexes are round (eurycnemic), retroversion and supernumerary joints ("facette orientale") rarely exist. Since we cannot use statistical tests to control the morphological traits for the degree of variation on account of the small number of cases we may only conclude from our data that the morphological features of the Sárbogárd population show great or average variation and that in comparison to the males the females show a somewhat more moderate variation. 6. Anatomical Variations I separately grouped those morphological traits of the skull which literature regards more important and mostly heritable traits. 70 Therefore their presence, frequency and distribution in the population must be considered. For this reason I not only included the adults but also the children in the examination of these characteristics. In every instance I listed the bilateral morphological traits independent of whether they were found on only one or both sides. Some anatomic variations I regard as having a low or high frequency according to their relation to the values originating from different areas published in literature. The examined anatomic variations are the following (Table 16). Sutura metopica. High frequency in the total material: 14.5%. Occurred more frequently among females than males. Crista metopica. High frequency in the total material : 16.7%. Especially observable among children and males. Cribra orbitalia. Frequency in the total material : 11.5%. Practically occurring only among infants. Torus palatínus. Low frequency in the total material: 12.2%. Only observable among adults, and more often among females. Sutura palatina transversa. The straight suture is the most frequent in the total material: 48.6%. Much more frequent among males than females. The foreward convex suture is somewhat more rare: 32.4%. This is more common among females than males. The backward convex suture is the rarest: 18.9%. It hardly occurs among males, while among females it is as frequent as the foreward convex suture. The straight suture is the most common among children. The foreward and backward convex forms are somewhat more rare than this, but they occur with equal frequency. Shape of P ter ion. Only the normal H, narrow H shape and the os epiptericum occur among the anatomical variations of the pterion. The most frequent is the normal H shape: 51.1% and much more rare is the narrow H shape with 8.5%; on the other hand the os epiptericum can be found in quite a high proportion: 40.4%. This latter especially occurs among females. Sutura angularis posterior inferior. Relatively high frequency in the total material: 19.4%. Somewhat more often found among males than among females.
