TERTIARY VERTEBRATA OF THE FAYCtM. 
pair of hypapopliysial ])roniineiices is present, and the neural spine is represented 
by a W-shaped thickening. 
In the last cervical (text-hg. 10, E) the slightly biconcave centrum is still short, 
somewhat more so dorsally than ventrally ; it is oval in outline. The neural 
s})ine is represented by a blunt ridge. Behind the pedicle of the neural arch 
there is a deep groove runuing down from the neural canal behind the transverse 
process, which is here imperforate and has a blunt tuberous extremity. On the

hinder border of the centrum near its ventral angles is a jtair of facets for the 
heads of the first pair of ribs. These facets are continuous posteriorly with the 
posterior face of the centrum and look outwards, backwards, and downwards. 
The thoracic series is not completely known. In the anterior region (text-fig. J 1) 
the centrum is wider than high ; its anterior face is flat, while the posterior face is
