*Circular pits at Oldenburg, Germany, explored by Nehring. 
Humerus.—Although the Anau humerus does not admit of complete measure- 
ment, it is possible to obtain from the dimensions of the distal part a certain com- 
parison with the humeri as these are known to us from diluvial and prehistoric 
localities in Europe. 
These figures show that the humeri of Anau, together with those of the Olden- 
burg-Kreisgruben and the Fallow pony often mentioned by Nehring, hold the 
record for smallness, while Equus przewalskii has, according to Salenski’s measure- 
ments, a somewhat coarser humerus. Equus stenonis appears to agree well with 
Equus przewalsku, and the Roman horse of Vindonissa is notably larger than the 
Anau horse and comes nearest to the horses of Westeregeln and of Cardamone. 
Radius.—As stated before, there exists no complete radius from Anau, but 
the quantity of perfect radii from the Bohemian localities and from Vindonissa 
permit us to make a very instructive comparison. Here again we see clearly that 
Equus caballus pumpellii, the horses of the Kreisgruben, the La Tene horse, and 
those from Stankowitz and Hostomitz are the smallest horses of the whole series, 
the Anau horse being probably the most slender-limbed. The second horse of 
Hostomitz seems to be somewhat larger, and also, according to the skull, to be a 
product of crossing with the large type of horse, as are also, probably, the horses 
of Cardamone and Desenzano and the Roman horses of Vindonissa. The Equus 
przewalskw has a radius approximately of the size of that of Anau, but stouter. 
Carpus.—Of the carpal bones we have from Anau three ossa magna and one 
from Vindonissa. ‘This last surpasses very significantly in size those from Anau. 
On the other hand, the ratio of width to length is throughout the same. 
Metacarpus.—Ever since the exterior of the horse has occupied attention, 
a deep-reaching importance as regards value and race has been ascribed to the 
metacarpus and metatarsus (os du canon of French authors). But Kraemer was
