Palm and fingers prints of the hands of 100 men and 100 women from the region of Tcherven Briag and 100 men and 100 women from Lukovit region were explored. A big number of dermatoglyphic traits with diagnostical and taxonomical meaning upon 800 palm and 4000 finger prints were investigated The full processing and analysis of the data received were doing by Cummins and Midlo's method (1961). The dermatoglyphical data received were worked up by the method t-criterion according to the formula of Veber (1961) in other to establish if the differences between the dermatoglyphic traits in the studied population from both regions, re significant or insignificant. A bimanual asymmetry (statistically significant) by one traits - III interdigital pad in the population from Tcherven briag and by two traits - Th/I and III interdigital pad in the Lukovit population was established. Besides, a sexual dimorphism only for the population from Tcherven briag, by three dermatoglyphical traits - Th/I, III - interdigital pad and AIT /additional interdigital triradii/. It was established by the method t-criterion, that the studied population from both regions is quiet homogenous according to the dermatoglyphical traits.
