The horn-cores of the tame bovid of Anau are represented only by fragments 
of the bases, and by several pieces from the inner curve of the cores. The one 
measurable horn-base is about 23 cm.; one of the longest fragments of the inner 
curve of the core has a length of 24.2 cm., which corresponds to an approximate 
length of horn-core of 32 cm. We find in some subfossil and recent macroceros 
bovids the following corresponding dimensions in millimeters, and the horn-cores 
from Anau would, therefore, correspond very well to the old Egyptian bovid:

As in my memoir on the Fauna of the Schlossberg zu Burg a. d. Spree (pp. 
254, 255) and the size of the domestic cattle found there, so in this case I shall 
calculate the height of the withers from the separate bones, in order to make 
clear the form and size of the Anau bovid. 
For Bos namadicus, calculating the length of lower jaw, the length of skull 
along the base is 51 cm. and the height of the withers in the live animal is 149 cm. 
For Bos taurus macroceros we obtain, according to comparative measurements, 
and basing our calculation on the metacarpus, which has a distance of 60 cm. 
from its distal end to the proximal end of the radius, a height of the withers in 
the living animal of 153 cm.
