In the thirteenthx thoracic vertebra a third articular facet(pz^) is developed on the hinder margin of the lamina ofthe arch, still higher than the last additional one (pzl),and separated from it by a deep notch. This looks mainlyoutwards, and articulates with a corresponding facet (as -,Fig 24) on the anterior edge of the arch of the fourteenth 1 In the Cambridge specimen this description applies to the fourteenthand fifteenth vertebra respectively. 64 THORACIC AND LUMBAR VERTEBRA.
