The Vertebral Column of the Bushman Race of South Africa. 869 
Thoracic Begion. Vertebrae Thoracales. 
The antero-posterior diameter (length), transverse diameter (breadth), 
and vertical depth of the bodies are taken at the centres of the bodies from 
front to back, from side to side, and from above to below respectively. 
The vertebral foramen is measured as in the cervical vertebrae, and the 
indices are similarly arranged.
