The transverse processes are lighter, the prezygapophyses are less complicated, facing directly upward,and the neural spines are less expanded at the top than in the preceding vertebra; there are otherwise no characters which require a separate description.

The cen- tra are quite uniformly concave on the sides and have a ventral keel more or less indicated, while the individual in- crease in the antero-posterior diameter from the fifth to the ninth is hardly perceptible. The articular surfaces for the ribs are large and the intervertebral notches are low but FlG lg Ni of considerable antero-posterior dimensions. The transverse d. mperbus. i.
