the postero-dorso-lateral and postero-veniro-lateral demarcation lines of the facies costalis. The vertebral (or neural) canal presents very peculiar features with respect to both its size and structure. It is, as stated above, very narrow, though broad enough at its anterior opening: its anterior Fig. 2. Same dorsal vertebra, lateral view. — it = torus terminális proc. obi. post.; fr — fades rhomboideae; fs = fades siibrbomboideae; pt = proeminentia triangularis anterior canalis vertebral is; sp = sulcus pericorid y leoideus centri vertebrae; fnl = foramen uutritivum lateralis: fl = fossa lateralis arcus vertebrae. width is contained about 5.85 times in the distante between the most prominent points of the faciès costales, which measures (with the addition of 2 mm that are reckoned for the benefit of the damaged surface of the left side facies costalis) 132.1 mm, whilst the mentioned width of the vertebral canal equals to 22.5 mm. I his measure does not yet strikingly reveal the narrowness of the vertebral lumen, which will be brought into prominence if the relation between the. let us say so, -,normal"-sized shaft and the maximum anterior height of the spinal channel be considered. The shaft's height being comparatively somewhat more than it uses to be, in the next related Varanians, it
