four lateral Loles, while the vestiges o£ the fifth, sixth, and 

 seventh vertebrae are thin as paper, and soldered on to the back 

 of the preceding ones. The superior transverse apophysis of the 

 third and fourth vertebrae are also distinguishable, although 

 those of the right side are more developed than those of the 

 left ; — a character, by the way, belonging to the whole of this 

 compound bone as well as to the spine generally. The vertical 

 apophyse of all the joints may be considered as uniting to form 

 one short cone on the back of the neck. The dimensions of this 

 compound cervical vertebra as follow : —
