THE BONES OF THE EXTREMITIES.   419

the first to explain, in a manner as plausible as it was scientific and accurate, the cause of the difference of form of these bones. According to him, the slenderness or thickness of this bone is traceable back to mechanical effects of use, aided naturally by nourishment and climate.* According to the view we have already developed in our special instance of the Anau horse the increasing slenderness of the bones, as the culture-strata grow in height, must be traced back to the increase of desert conditions and the use of the animal for rapid work. It is encouraging and confirmatory of our separate conceptions that our conclusions so agree, although so differently deduced.

On account of the special importance of this bone I repeat here all its dimensions in comparison with a series of other horses of European localities.

Table of dimensions.

This comparative table shows distinctly the relation already noticed in the bones of the other extremities, that the horse of Anau agrees remarkably well with those of the European bronze age and of the later La Tene phase of the iron age. It shows, however, further, that among the horses of Solutré there occur adult
