5504. The first dorsal vertebra. 



The inequality of size in the zygapophyses is here less. The diapophyses are longer and 

 stand more outwards, and the centrum is larger than in the Australian Negro. 



5505. The second dorsal vertebra. 



5506. The third and fourth dorsal vertebrae, partially anchylosed. 



5507. The fifth dorsal vertebra. 

 6508. The sixth dorsal vertebra. 



In each of the preceding the diapophyses are less bent upwards than in the Australian. 



5509. The seventh to the eleventh dorsal vertebrae inclusive, anchylosed together, 

 by a continuous ossified tract, along the right side of the centrum. 



The metapophyses are distinctly developed from the upper part of the base of the diapo- 

 physes of the eleventh vertebra. 



5510. The twelfth dorsal vertebra. 



It is larger than in the Australian, has the neural spine more extended in the direction of 

 the axis of the body, has a larger costal surface, and shows the anapophysis more distinct 

 from the rudimental diapophysis. 



5511. The first lumbar vertebra. 



In this the metapophyses, anapophyses and diapophyses are more produced and distinct 

 than in the Australian. Although the vertebra is larger than in the Australian, the zygapo- 

 physes continue to be absolutely as well as relatively less. 



5512. The second lumbar vertebra. 



Although the anterior zygapophyses in their change of position have ascended to the base 

 of the metapophyses, both these and the anapophyses continue to be distinct from the pro- 

 gressively increasing diapophyses. 



5513. The third lumbar vertebra. 



Here both metapophyses and anapophyses have subsided to tubercles. The zygapophyses 

 equal those in the Australian, and the diapophyses are of the same length, but the body and 

 neural spine of the vertebra are much larger.
