scale resemblance. The degree of similarity is almost equal with the female series of Környe, Szekszárd-Palánk and Vác-Kavicsbánya (Fig. 13). On the basis of the relations of cranial height-orbital height and of nasal breadth-facial breadth the male series displays the greatest similarity to those of Tiszavasvár and Üllő I. The male series of Budapest-környéke and Csákberény present the greatest difference from this aspect (Fig. 12). In the case of the female series of the cemeteries Tiszavasvár and VácKavicsbánya are similar to that of Solymár. AU the other female series are far from it (Fig. 14). Summarizing the results of the analysis executed by ALEXEYEVA's special indices we can see that males and females alike present similarity to the populations of Környe, Szekszárd-Palánk and Tiszavasvár. The anthropological material of Vác-Kavicsbánya is still relatively close to that of Solymár. The greatest differences could be found in the populations of Alattyán-Tulát, Budapest-környéke, Csákberény. COMPARISON OF FACIAL FLATNESS MEASUREMENTS I managed to apply the averages calculated for Europoids, Mongoloids, 7th-8th century Avars (TOTH 1958) and for Conquering Hungarians (TÓTH 1965) beside the averages calculated from the data of 10 Avar Period cemeteries (TOTH 1970) (Tables 13, 14, Figs 15-26). The males of Solymár indicate the greatest similarity with those of Környe and Csákberény, at the same time they approach the average of Europoids quite closely. From certain aspects they also indicate proximity to the average of Avars. The series of Váchartyán and Csepel are the most different. The female series shows the most marked resemblance to those of Alattyán-Tulát and Váchartyán. From a number of aspects the female population of Környe is also close to that of Solymár. The females of Budapest-környéke and Csepel-szabadkikötő are different. Females are more markedly different from the average of Europoids than males are, except for the relation of NM-ZM angle. On the other hand females resemble the Avars more so than males do. Both sexes are quite far from the average of the Conquering Hungarians. Because of its Europid character the cemetery differs to the greatest extent from Mongoloids. This supports the fact that the Mongoloid influence observed on the females of Solymár is rather limited. PFC AND FACIAL FLATNESS INDEX The value of the praeauricular facio-cerebral index (PFC) is 38.7 in our cemetery, what is closely resembling that of the Europoids, more closely the bulkier and wider face type characteristic for the Northern territories (89.9) (TÓTH 1974). From the comparative series those of Környe and Vác-Kavicsbánya are the closest to ours (Table 15). The relationship of PFC and facial flatness index (IC) is presented in Figure 27. I have also considered the PFC and IC averages of Europoids, Europo-Mongoloids, Mongoloids (DEBETS 1961) and those of the Conquering Hungarians (DEBETS 1964, TÓTH 1965, 1969). Our material resembles the cemeteries of Környe and Vác-Kavicsbánya the most. SUMMARY As a conclusion of the comparisons carried out by various methods it can be stated that the male series of the Avar Period cemetery of Solymár is the most similar to the male group of Környe, Csákberény and Vác-Kavicsbánya. According to ALEXEYEVA's indices the male populations of Tiszavasvár and Szekszárd-Palánk are of a very similar character too, but no other method indicates it, what is more, the series of Tiszavasvár is the most distant one according to more than one other method. The geographically nearby series of Budapest-környéke, Budapest-Népstadion and Csepel-szabadkikötő are also different from the series of Solymár. The females present the most marked similarity to the female series of Vác-Kavicsbánya by some methods, however, taking method by method, the different cemeteries produce
