THE LUMBAR VERTE-BRA (figs. 115 and 116) are of alarger size than those in the dor-sal region ; they are five in num-ber, and have the long diameterof the centrum in the trans-verse direction ; the neural spinepresents a considerable surfacefor the tendinous attachment ofthe muscles of the back andloins ; tlieparapophyses are short,. and the pleurapophyses are absent.
