396 ANIMAL REMAINS FROM THE EXCAVATIONS AT ANAU. 
The Anau horses range themselves quite in the beginning of this table, with 
minimum of 22.0, mean of 26.0, and maximum of 35.0, and show themselves, 
therefore, to stand nearest to Equus stenonis, here again inclining to the half-asses 
and asses. According to Tscherski, however, Equus stenonts is nothing else than 
the Siberian fossil horse which he describes. 
METATARSUS TERTIUS. 
Of metatarsal bones we have two completely preserved specimens, from 
which we can determine easily the index of width, which further confirms, in the 
most striking manner, the thin-footed character of the Anau horse.

This table is particularly instructive, since in it so great a variation is shown 
between two metatarsi of the Anau horse that the Spandau horse of the bronze 
age is seen to be still more narrow-footed than the Anau horse I. 
PHALANGES. 
The phalanges also confirm what has been said, since their measurements 
agree only with the smallest breeds and species of horses. The larger of these 
phalanges from culture I, No. 20, — 20 feet, and from No. 1205, —15 feet, as well 
as No. 168 from the Komorof trench, must be considered as the phalanges of the 
posterior extremities, and the others as belonging to the anterior extremities. 
ON THE TYPE AND THE RELATIONS OF THE HORSES FROM ANAU, 
We have now come to the close of our discussion of the remains of the horse 
of Anau, and it remains only to give a short recapitulation of the results and to 
draw some inferences. 
In order to deal clearly with this subject, however, we must first try to deter- 
mine arithmetically the approximate size of this horse in the manner formerly 
used by me,* the results of which I give below:
