THE BONES OF THE EXTREMITIES.
Referring to my comparative treatment of the bones of the extremities, in chapter xviii, I will, to avoid repetition, lay stress only on such characteristics and dimensions of these bones as are of importance to our discussion ; besides, I will add the tarsal and femoral bones, which were omitted in the earlier discussion. We have already noticed the marked slenderness of the scapula of Equus pumpellii, a feature which Frank* has already pointed out as a characteristic of the Arabian-Oriental horse. Particularly noteworthy in comparison with the scapulæ of the diluvial horse of Kesslerloch is the slight convexity of the contours of the bone at the collum; the edge of the articulation and the tuberculum supraglenoidale on the one hand and the squama on the other hand project very little over the straight line ; this helps to produce the general impression of great slenderness. From this it is clear that the Roman horse of Vindonissa was almost as large as a recent horse of Pinzgau.
