THE SKKLEYOX 



IS n..t l.ih.l, but has two small lateral tnl.crcles which give attachment to the li-ra- 

 mentum niich*. The transverse processes are of large size; the costal processes 

 are very small; and the costo-transverse foramina are the smallest of the series 

 or wantnig. \ ery frequently the costal process is segmented off, and constitutes a 

 cervical ril), sometnius ot large size. 



Occasionally a demi-facet exists on each side of the lower border of the centrum 

 for the h(jad o the hrst rib. When this demi-facet is present, there is usually a 

 well-developed cervical ril). u»udii^ a
