Besides the absence of facets for ribs it also differs from the latter in having a sharper ventral keel, bet- ter developed lateral tubercles on the ventral posterior face of the centrum, larger transverse processes, which are placed lower down, and a slightly heavier neural spine. In Dajihcc- nus felinus the lumbar vertebras have relatively longer and narrower centra, with the ventral keel and lateral posterior Fl°- 19- First Lumbar Ver- , • i -i n , . t . tebraof ' tubercles of greater prominence, longer transverse processes, and the neural spines possibly somewhat higher than in the present genus.
