CONCLUSIONS. 
To present, free from subjective influence, not only the methods of investi- 
gation, but also the inferences; that is, to build objectively and scientifically, I 
apply here the known system of points, thus avoiding bias by some pronounced 
characteristic and premature or wrong conclusions through neglect of other impor- 
tant points. The plan is as follows: The questions which are of especial interest 
are listed and each one considered with regard to each characteristic treated in this 
investigation. Where there is absolute agreement, the highest degree of positive 
answer to the question, a value of 10 points is assigned, which decreases by units 
to o for a directly negative answer. Adding the points obtained and dividing by 
the number of answers, the result is an objective answer to the question and as 
accurate as the accidents of the find and a comparison of the material investigated 
will permit. The questions which we will here present are eight in number. 
1. How does the horse of Anau agree with that of the late neolithic and bronze 
ages and the La Téne time, with the exception of the Schlossberg horse? 
2. How does the Anau horse agree with those of Solutré, Kesslerloch and of 
the paleolithic and early-neolithic localities of Italy and France? 
3. How does the horse of Vindonissa compare with these? 
4. What relation do these paleolithic and neolithic horses bear to those of 
Westeregeln and Thiede of the North German lowland? 
. How does the Anau horse agree with Equus przewalskw Poljakoff? 
. How do the above-mentioned horses of Solutré, etc., stand in relation to 
Equus przewalskit. | 
7. How do the Bronze and La Téne horses stand in relation to the Anau horse? 
8. How does the horse of Anau compare with that of the Schlossberg?

The answers yield the following:

These results are, therefore, to be expressed in the following manner: 
1. From our foregoing investigation it follows with the greatest certainty 
that the Roman horse of Vindonissa was a horse of the size and shape of those of 
Solutré, Kesslerloch, Cardamone, Arezzo, Devenzano, etc., and it was apparently 
closely related to these animals, since only very slight osteological differences can 
be recognized.
