Veterinary anatomy. great development of its transversal diameter, the considerable dimensions of the spinal foramen, and the thinness of its body. The intra-rachidian face of the latter is divided into two portions by a transverse ridge: one anterior, furnished with ligamentous imprints, exhibits, laterally, two deep excavations, which lodge the venous sinuses; the other, posterior, is smooth and concave from side to side, and forms an articular surface into which is received the odontoid process of the axis; this surface resembles the cotyloid cavity. The inferior spine of the body appears as a large tubercle. The head is absent, and is replaced by two concave facets. The anterior articular processes have their gliding surfaces looking downwards; they are joined to the two preceding facets to constitute two large diarthrodial cavities, which correspond to the occipital condyles. There is no spinous process, but a rough- ened surface instead. The transverse pro- cesses are large, flattened above and below, incline forwards and downwards, and are atlas; inferior surface. provided with a thick rugged lip.
