In addition to the standard layered navigation, anchor categories appear in an additional section that lets you filter the list by attribute value. The attribute section of layered navigation appears if the category is set to “Is Anchor.” Each attribute can be configured to display the results, which is the number of matching records found.

Setting up anchored layered navigation is a two-step process. First, you need to set up the filterable attributes. Then, make the category an anchor. http://go.magento.com/support/kb/entry/name/anchor-categories/
