Caudal region (Plate VI., Fig. 6). — (Description based upon 

 the first four.) 



The centra of the caudal vertebrae are rather long, narrow, 

 and greatly depressed in the middle ; they decrease in size 

 gradually backward. The pedicles and lamhiae are short and 

 thin, enclosing a small neural canal. The neural spines point 

 directly back, being almost parallel with the axis of the cen- 

 trum. They are slender and tuberous at the extremity. The 

 transverse processes are very long, wide, and thin, thickened 

 somewhat at the ends, and project directly out ; they decrease 

 in size backwards. From the persistence of the neural canal, 

 and from its comparative size, it would seem as if the tail 

 was considerably larger than that of the elephant.
