EXPLORATIONS IN TURKESTAN

ORDO PERISSODACTYLA. 393
FEMUR.
Of the femora not one shows itself sufficiently intact to permit an exact
measurement. Only the width and thickness can be determined, these confirming
the narrow-footed peculiarity of the Anau horse.
TIBIA.
Of the tibia, on the contrary, we have a perfect specimen, which permits of
very exact measurement. This, too, shows that we have to do with a narrowfooted
horse. The indices of width are:
Anau horse ............................................... 25.8
Small Schlossberg horse .................................... 24.7
La Tene horse ............................................ 22.7
Equus hemionus........................................ 28.0
Diluvial horse of Siberia ....................................
30. o
Equus przewalskii .......................................... 33.0
