terranean, and Alpine elements; TÓTH distinguished in the Csákberény series a brachycranial, Europoid, Protoeuropoid group; LIPTÁK considered the Kérpuszta findings a Mediterranean, Cromagnoid-B, Cromagnoid-A, Dinarian, Alpine, NordoidAtlanto-Mediterranan assemblage, whereas the present author discerned the preponderance in the Kékesd material of Cromagnoid-A, Cromagnoid-B, and gracile Mediterranean-Nordoid elements. On the basis of occurrence and distinction of the type elements appearing in the anthropological material of the cemeteries discussed above, it can be stated that the similarity of the partial population deriving from the Isle of Helemba is the greatest with that from Ptuj, Summary 1. The ethnicum of the cemetery at the Isle of Helemba is of a Europoid character. The assessable part of the population is characterized by elements partly of a medium long —long-headed, medium wide —narrow-faced, Mediterranoid — Nordic, partly of short —very short-headed, wide-faced Cro-Magnoid-B and Alpine, types. 2. On the basis of the correlational collation and evaluation of the morphological characteristics of series both from abroad and from the Árpádian Epoch, as well as the occurrence and distinguishable state of the type elements appearing in the series, it can be established that the males of the Isle of Helemba show similarity mostly with the findings from Ptuj, then with those from Veszprém-Kálváriadomb, Csákberény, and Kérpuszta of the Árpádian Epoch, and from Kékesd of the Avar Apoch, while the females agree with the series from Ptuj and Veszprém-Kálváriadomb. 3. For a more detailed analysis of problems relating to the ethnic group of the cemetery, the clarification of the chronological and ethnic respects of the related archeological investigations on the one hand, and the availability of more comparative anthropological material from the neighbouring areas of the Great Bend of the Danube on the other, would be necessary.
