It is easy to observe that the dimensions of the subfossil bones from Anau
greatly exceed those of the corresponding bones of one of the greatest modern
horses and closely approach the bones of Bos primigenius of the ancient European
culture-strata. It is not probable, considering the remains we find in the later
periods of the kurgan, that the first inhabitants of Anau hunted a gigantic wild
horse or had a horse of the size of a Clydesdale or a Percheron; and there can be
no doubt that the bones mentioned belonged to a large bovine animal. Another
extremity bone, a metacarpus medius, No. 121, confirms this conclusion. Marked
