The Third Cervical Vertebra (Fig. 6).—The centrum of the third cervical is slightly opisthocoelous, short, and depressed. Below there is a strong median keel with deep excavations on either side. The pedicle is low, the neural canal rather small, and the superior surface of the arch rugose with heavy anterior and posterior zygapophyses. The articulation of the postzygapophysis faces more obliquely out- ward and upward than in Merycoidodon, and the transverse process is proportionally longer and more robust, especially in the postero- lateral direction. The Fourth Cervical (Fig. 7).—This vertebra corresponds in nearly all respects with the one preceding it and need not here be described in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Museum; Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
