RADIUS.
This bone is represented among the Anau finds in a somewhat better state of preservation than were those we have considered. The relatively slight lateral expansion of this shows already that the Anau horse belongs to the thin-footed type, as will appear clearly from the consideration of the well-preserved metacarpalia and metatarsalia.
METACARPUS TERTIUS.
One of the four measurable metacarpal remains from Anau is very well preserved; and from this it is recognizable that the Anau horse belongs to the narrow-footed horses, since it possesses long and slender metacarpi. The index of width of the Anau animal gives the following results in comparison with other fossil and subfossil as well as recent horses.
For the djiggetai (Equus hemionus) I1.8
For the onager (Equus onager) 12.0
For the kiang (Equus kiang) x2 .2
For the Anau horse 12.3
For the La Tène horse 13 . o
For the Leitmeritz horse 13.9
For the small German horse of Schlossberg 14.0
For the large Schlossberg horse 15.3
For the German diluvial horse 17.5
According to Tscherski, of the Siberian horses Io per cent are narrow-footed,
i. e., have an index of width of 15 or under 15; 45 per cent are medium-footed,
i. e., have an index of 15 to 17; and 45 per cent are broad-footed, i. e., have an index of 17 to 18.6.
The Anau horse is, therefore, uncommonly narrow-footed, in which particular it stands near to the half-asses and asses and is only rivaled to a certain extent by the European La Tène horse.
VERTEBRA.
There are several pieces of neck and sacral vertebræ, of which, however, the measurements can give us no information of importance.
