The firfl: Seven Vertelm of the thorax^ have Two 
f Tab, 2. ohlique Ptocejfes f forwards , wliich run under the 
iJ?^. 8. bt. hinder oblique Procejfes of the preceding Vertehra ; and 
* have Two ohlique Proceffes'^ backwards, which rides 
over thofe of the fucceeding Fertelra; as iikewiie Two 
\ dd. tranfverfe Procejfes f, which at their Ends have fitiall 
II e e. Acetahulds || or Sinus s, for the receiving the Heais of 
* the Rihs^ which are fattened to them. The Sphes of 
thefe FertehrcBy are llender, thin, and iTiarp ,- about 
Three Quarters of an Inch long. The Six following 
Vertehm of the thorax, have (hort, thick, and flat 
Spines. The ohlique Procejfes being continued on each 
Side of the Spine, make as 'twere, a Gutter ; and the 
tranjverfe Procejfes here, are fomewhat different from 
I Tab, 2. the former. The Spines\\ of the Vertehra of the Back 
9- or Loins, the moVe they approached the Os Sacrum^ Co 
they lefTened gradually in their Thicknefs on the Edge. 
f bb, ccBut here were double ohlique Procejfes f, viz. Four at 
each End of the Fertthra^ and the under moft fpreading 
"^ Tab. I. themfelves out broad. The Three Fertehm ^ of the Os 
nq 'io. Sacrum^ are firmly fattened to the Os Ilium f ; but the 
\ k. 13. laft not fb entirely as the Two former : But this at each 
Side had a broad tranfverfe ProceJS^ and the Spines of 
» ivb.ii. thefe were thin. The Two Firft Fertehra * of the Tail 
had only One fmall acute Spine ; but in all the other Fer^ 
fehr£ of the Tail^ both at the Head and Tail of each 
Fertehra, I obferved Two Spines ; but thofe at the Head 
of the Joint, the larger. In the Six Firtt of 
the Tail^ there was, of each Side, a broad tranfverfe Pro* 
ceji^ the Length of the Joint : In the other Fertehr£ on- 
ly at the Head and Jail, a jutting out at the Sides. The 
Fertehr£ about the Middle of the Tail, were the longeft; 
being there about an Inch long nearer the Root ot the 
Taily and at the End not fo long.
