The lamellar part is thick, and consists of anterior and pos- terior parts. The anterior jiart is tlouble; its fibers proceed from the funicular part to the second, third, and fourth cervical spines. The posterior part is single; its fibers extend from the first thoracic sjiiue to the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical sjiines.
