THE HORSE OF ANAU <strong>IN</strong> ITS VARIOUS RELATIONS.<br />

The molars both of the Anau horse and of the other subfossil horses are<br />

represented by hundreds, but a detailed study of them can be of use only when<br />

we possess sets of teeth which surely belong together, as we fortunately have in<br />

a complete half of a palate from Anau.<br />

After what has been said in reviewing the specific characteristics of ass and<br />

horse, it is superfluous to follow the course of each enamel plication. Here we<br />

will notice the principal differences; as regards the masticating surface the accompanying<br />

drawings (fig. 491) will speak for themselves. Nehring and later Salenski<br />

affirm that the relations assumed by Frank, for the Oriental and Occidental<br />

horses, between length and breadth of masticating surface (teeth broader than<br />

long in the Oriental, and longer than broad in the Occidental horse) are not decisive;<br />

indeed this relation is greatly influenced by the age of the animal, since<br />

through progressive grinding off of the teeth these become smaller towards the<br />

roots, and the row of teeth shortens. Nevertheless a comparative tabulation of<br />

the size-relations of the whole row of teeth is probably worth making.<br />
