The canal is small and is higher than it is wide; its lower portion is enclosed between the projecting processes of the centrum, with which the arch articulates. The dorsal ribs (text-fig. 31, C, D) are long and comparatively stout. At the proximal end the capitular and tubercular facets are Avidely separated, the forking of the upper end being deeper than in most Liassic forms. The capitular facet (h.) is the larger and nearly circular in outline, while the smaller tubercular facet {t.) is Text-fiff. 31. A.
