Its anterior surfaceis marked by a low median vertical ridge, with a depression on each side. The superior «rf/f«/«r surfaces, placed like those of the atlas in front of the notch,lie close to the base of the odontoid process, partly on the body and partly on thepedicles of the vertebra. These surfaces look upwards and slightly outwards. Theinferior articular processes are similar in form and position to those of the succeedingvertebrae. The spinous process is very large, rough, deeply bifid, and grooved on its inferiorsurface. The Jamince are very thick and stro
