420 THE HORSE OF ANAU IN ITS VARIOUS RELATIONS. 
remains (most likely young individuals like Equus przewalskii of Bern) which per- 
mit us to suppose a smaller size of this horse than is shown by the other bones; 
still, according to the index these bones are considerably larger than those of Anau 
and of the La Téne time. ‘The horses of Vindonissa are notably larger than any 
of those mentioned, and approach throughout the heavy diluvial horse of Nehring. 
But Equus przewalskii stands, in respect to its metacarpi, in the middle, among the 
La Téne horses of Bohemia. 
The other French subfossil horses resemble the smaller forms of the Solutré 
horse and Equus caballus nehringi of the Schlossberg as well as the Bohemian 
horses of neolithic age. 
Femur.—For the sake of completeness we will add a brief comparison of 
some dimensions of the femora, although we have from Anau only distal ends of 
these bones, and in the specimens from Vindonissa the epiphyses are injured.

We see here, too, the above-mentioned relation of the Anau horse to the 
bronze-age horse and to Equus przewalskii; and of the Vindonissa horse to the 
diluvial horse. At the same time, since we have here to do with articulation, it 
is clear that, as stated by Kraemer,* the joints of the slender-limbed horses are 
relatively stouter and broader than those of other horses. This relation appears 
just here, since the lengths of the femora from Anau hardly exceed 300 mm. while 
those from Vindonissa measure 350, those from Westeregeln were about as large, f 
and those from Cardamone as much, indeed, as 414 mm. 
We must also make some remarks in regard to the tzbie, although these were 
considered at length in the first part of my report. The smallest of all here appear 
to be the tibize from Tschontschitz, which the turbary find seems to date from a 
relatively late time, probably in the bronze age. Those from Anau and Spandau
