PLATE II 



Plate II is from a section through the intervertebral disc 

 (Fibrocartilago intervertebralis V) between the fifth and 

 sixth cervical vertebrae posteriorly, the upper part of the 

 lamina of the cricoid cartilage anteriorly and the upper sur- 

 face of the acromial end of the clavicles laterally. The upper 

 surface of this section is 1.3 cm. posteriorly and .4 cm. anter- 

 iorly below that of section I, so that the anteripr margin is 

 3.5 cm. below the posterior. 



The right lobe of the thyreoid gland is small at the sur- 

 face of the section but enlarges a little lower down and pro- 

 jects backward and inward into the space, indicated by the 

 dotted outline, between the pharynx and the prevertebral 

 fascia.
