Palm and finger prints of 100 men and 100 women from the region of Pavel Banja and 100 men and 100 women from Maglish were studied. Four groups with total number of 400 individuals of both sexes or 800 dermatoglyphical prints were investigated, according to a complex of dermatoglyphical traits. The diagnostic analysis of the dermatoglyphic data was done according to Cummins and Midlo's method (1961). In order to be established significant or insignificant differences between the studied groups, the received data were treated by the method of t-criterion according to formula of Veber (1961). It was established a bimanual asymmetry in the studied population according to some dermatoglyphic traits in both sexes. It was found out a sexual dimorphism by some traits as well like carpal triradii, DL10 in the studied population. On the basis of race - diagnostic analysis done a conclusion that the explored population has European characteristic with a weak 'eastern' admixture. Key words: dermatoglyphics, sexual and bimanual differences, Bulgarian populations comparison, pattern intensity. Dermatoglyphical traits are genetically determined and are used in resolving of many questions of etnogenetical character in anthropological investigations of populations from Different parts of the world (Luna, Pons 1987, Gladkova, 1961, Gladkova, Tot, 1985, Gladkova, Hit, 1983). At present were earring out different investigations in dermatoglyphical aspect of Bulgarian population from different regions of Bulgaria. The present dermatoglyphical investigation of Bulgarian population from some regions of Western Thrace has for purpose to be done fuller dermatoglyphical characteristic of these regions on the finger prints and by the palm patterns of the hands. On the basis of received dermatoglyphical data will be enriched anthropological picture about the origin of the investigated population of the pointed out regions.
