Spinal Column. — The cervical vertebrae were small ; the axis and the 4th cervical 

 vertebrae were missing ; the spines of the 3rd, 6th, and 7th were not bifid, that of 

 the 6th was not so prominent as that of the 7th. The foramen at the root of the 

 transverse process was relatively large, but a bar of bone divided the left foramen of the 

 6th into two parts. In the dorsal region the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th vertebrae had 

 each only a single costal facet on the side of the body. The 10th had no costal artic- 

 ular surface on each transverse process, which in the Uth and 12th was represented 

 by three tubercles. In the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th dorsal vertebrae the inferior costal 

 facet on the side of the body was elevated as a costal process, but the superior facet 

 was in the plane of the general surface of the body. In the lumbar region the vertebrae 

 had blunt, stunted mammillary processes, and in three short, pointed, accessory processes 

 were also present. In the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd the transverse processes were spatulate, 

 in the 4th they were attenuated, and in the 5th thick and stunted. The spines were 

 characteristic of the region. 



The bodies of the four lower dorsals and those of the lumbar vertebrae were 

 measured to determine the vertical diameter in front and behind, and the measures are 

 recorded below : —
