Popis:	The lateral lithological variability of 18 stratigraphically close fluviatile cyclothems is analysed in three ways: (1) qualitatively, (2) by means of the upwards facies transition probability matrix, and (3) using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U statistic. Some cyclothems are relatively very uniform over lateral distances comparable with 100 cyclothem thicknesses, whereas others have a lateral variability similar to the variability characteristic of the set of cyclothems. Hence some amongst stratigraphically close cyclothems are considered to show real differences, which may be attributed to allocyclic environmental factors operating on a relatively large time scale. The variation within cyclothems can be explained by shorter term autocyclic factors.
