The centrum is the most constant vertebral element as to its existence, but not as to its ossification. There are some living fishes, and formerly there were many, now extinct, in which, whilst the peripheral elements of the vertelira become ossified, the central one remains unossificd ; and here a few words are requisite as to the developement of vcrtcbra\ § 16.
