Certain other ligaments connect together the neural arch of the atlas with that of the axis and with the skull. The first of these is the dorsal atlanto-axial ligament, connecting the neural arches of the axis and atlas. Another is the dorsal oecipito-edlantal ligament (Fig. 27, ^), which connects the neural arch of the atlas with the adjacent margin of the posterior aperture of the cranium. A third ligament, the transverse (dlanio-occipital (^), passes outwards upwards and forwards on each side from the neural arch of the atlas to the inner side of the adjacent occipital condyle. Yet another liga- ment may he called interspinous. It connects the neural sj)ine of the axis with the middle of the dorsum of the neural arch of the atlas. ^ 21. As to the ribs, a ligament, named "s^^/Zr/?'^," passes, in a. Fig. 27.— OF Atlas and Axis. 1. Dorsal ocpipito-atLmtal ligament. 2. Dorsal atlanto-axial ligament. 3. ligament. 4.

Suiira-oceipital, radiating manner, from the ventral surface of the head of each rib on to the intervertebral substance opposite to it, and on to the bodies of the two adjacent vertebrse. Another ligament, named inter-articular, passes transversely from that ridge on the head of the rib which divides its two articular surfaces, to the intervertebral substance. This ligament of course does not exist in the articulations of the first, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth ribs, which have each but one articular surface. The ribs, except
