 note = {御崎馬が天然記念物に指定(1953) される以前には, 都井岬以外にも御崎馬が飼われていたので,これらの馬について体高の測定がなされたことがある. しかし,御崎馬が文化財に指定されてからは,種々の制約によってこの馬の体高は測定されていない. また,御崎馬の骨格については,これまでわずか3頭分の測定がなされたにすぎない.
 筆者らは, 最近死亡した御崎馬34頭のうち, 23頭の遺骨について骨長その他を測定し, 林田らの公式III によってその体高を推定するとともに,本邦遺遺から出土した馬などとの関係を比較検討し次の成績を得た.
 1) 骨長から推定した御崎馬の体高は, 生後4ヵ月令で79.33cm (1頭), 12ヵ月から18ヵ月令で106.71cm (3頭平均), 3才以上馬で129.73cm (19頭平均)である. 3才以上馬の体高を都井岬の地域別にみると,小松ヵ丘地区127.75cm (9頭平均),扇山地区131.52cm (10頭平均)で,扇山地区の馬が3.77cm 高い.
 2) 御崎馬の平均体高は, これまでに報告されている日本の古代(縄文時代と弥生時代)や中世(鎌倉時代)の在来馬の体高と近似している.
 3) 御崎馬の体高に対する骨長(20部位)の割合は, これまでに報告されているトカラ馬(小型日本在来馬)よりも,蒙古馬やアラブ種に近似するようである.
 4) 御崎馬の肩甲骨,上腕骨,橈骨,中手骨,脛骨および中足骨につき, 骨長のほか骨の幅, 前後径などを測定し, 従来報告されている蒙古馬や日本の中世および古代馬と比較した. その結果,御崎馬は蒙古馬に比し肩甲骨が長大で, その他の長骨はおおむね細長である. しかし,日本の中世および古代馬とは,その計測値が比較的近似することが判明した., As the same kind had been also pasturized in other places before Misaki horse was appointed to be a natural monument (1953), the height of Misaki horse had been measured once. For almost 20 years since then, however, the height of horse has been in unmeasurable condition. In regard to the frame of this horse, only two horses were measured.
    Out of 34 Misaki horses that had recently died, we measured 23 horses, whose osseous remains we investigated into, and estimated the height of dead horses, using Formula III of Dr. Hayashida and of others and discussed on the relationship with other horses by comparing them to others. The results are as follows:
    1) The height estimated from the length of bones varies thus: 79.33 cm (measuring just one horse)-four-month old horses; 106.71 cm (the average of three horses)-12～18 month old ones; and 129.73 cm (the average of 19 horses)-3 year-old (or older) ones. The height of 3 year old horses geographically varies in Toimisaki: 127.75 cm (the average out of 9 horses) in Komatsugaoka area and 131. 52 cm (the average out of 10 horses) in Ogiyama area; thereby, the horses in Ogiyama area are 3.77 cm higher.
    2) The average height of Misaki horse is quite close to that of ancient Japanese horse (of the Jyomon Period and of the Yayoi Period) and of medieval Japanese horse (of the Kamakura Period) which have been already measured.
    3) The ratio of the length of Misaki horse's bones (about 20 parts) to the height is closer to that of Mongol horse and of Arab than that of Tokara pony (the small Japanese native horse) which has been already reported.
    4) In regard to scapula, humerus, radius, metacarpus, tibia, and metatarsus of Misaki horse, the width of bones and the diameter in addition to the length of bones were measured and compared to those of Mongol horse, and those of ancient medieval Japanese horses.
    The scapula of Misaki horse is longer and larger than that of Mongol horse; the remaining long bones of his are generally lanky. The measurement value of Misaki horse, however, is comparatively close to that of medieval and ancient Japanese horses.},
