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 meta- 
carpalia and metatarsalia. 
METACARPUS TERTIUS. 
One of the four measurable metacarpal remains from Anau is very well pre- 
served; 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.

According to Tscherski, of the Siberian horses 10 per cent are narrow-footed, 
1.e., have an index of width of 15 or under 15; 45 per cent are medium-footed, 
4.e., have an index of 15 to 17; and 45 per cent are broad-footed, 7. 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 Tene horse. 
VERTEBRA. 
There are several pieces of neck and sacral vertebrae, of which, however, 
the measurements can give us no information of importance.
