SCAPULA.
The one almost perfectly preserved specimen of the scapula belongs also, as is shown by the comparative dimensions, to a horse of medium size. The slenderness of the bones, a characteristic especially typical of the Anau horse, is here very perceptible. No further peçuliarities are noticeable in the structure of the bones.
HUMERUS.
None of the bones permit a full measurement of the length of the humerus. Generally speaking, they were only distal pieces, the measurements of seven of which we have given in the table on p. 392. The few measurements of width here given approach nearest to those of Equus przewalskii and Equus hemionus.
