AL, s. PVL, external overlap areas for anterior lateral and posterior ventro- lateral. invariably reduced in connection with the posterior reduction of the trunk shield. A small but well-developed posterior lateral, relatively long and low in proportions, is believed to be primitive in the Arctolepida. The anterior ventro-lateral plates (fig. 112, AVL) are constructed on a plan very similar to that of the anterior laterals. The lateral border attaches to the spinal in a simple harmonic suture and shows modifications similar to those of the spinal edge of the anterior lateral; it is long in forms with a long spinal and tends to be short in those with a short spinal. The anterior border unites with the intero-lateral in a harmonic suture, while the antero-medial, medial.
