vertebralis should be conferred. The median crest, interrupted in the middle, and connecting the two prominences mentioned is the crista medial is canalis vertebralis. For the two fine, though strongly marked, crests sent off by the two lateral points of the posterior prominence I wish to propose the name cristae posterobasi

The spinal cord evidently occupied the upper portion of the vertebral lumen, i. e. the part superior to the cristae laterales and immediately underlying the vault of the canal. The spinal cord imust have been, thus, according to the moderate space left for it, but of about the same volume per dorsal vertebra as the lateral spinal venes together. It obviously touched the floor of the canal, i. e.
