Next comes the unpaired a. basilaris due to the fusion cranially of the two terminal branches of the carotids and caudally of the two aa. vertebrales; with progressive development the carotids furnish less, and the vertebrals more blood with definite conditions in monotremes, pinnipedia, and the majority of Carnivora. Lastly the a. basilaris is a strong single vessel formed throughout by fusion of the aa. vertebrales as in the opo
