. The comparative anatomy of the domesticated animals. Veterinary anatomy. ARTICULATIONS OF THE SPINE. 185 sixth, and seventh vertebrae. The superior border of this auxiliary ligamentous production, is concealed between the two lamiua of the principal ; ' B. Camel.—In this animal, the common supraspinous ligament is entirely composed of yellow elastic tissue; it is therefore impossible to distinguish, physically, a dorso-lumbar and a cervical portion. It is remarkable for its thickness and width; and its dimensions increase from behind to before, especially from the second lumbar vertebra. At the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth dorsal vertebrae an elastic band is given off fi om its borders; as this descends, it gradually becomes thinner until it reaches the external intercostal muscles. From the ninth dorsal vertebra, the supraspinous ligament divides into two layers, which are placed against the lateral faces of the spinous processes. In the cervical region, the layers Fig. 123,. kt^i^l^^-^ ^i x\\\-^ CERVICAL LIGAMENT OF A YOUNG CAMEL. become rounded, are joined to each other by means of connective tissue, and describing an S- shaped curve, become inserted into the occipital bone. They give oflf, from their inferior border, six digitations, which are attached to the spinous processes of tlie last six cervical vertebrae. An accessory leaf is situated between the two portions just described: it is detached from the anterior border of the spinous process of the first dorsal vertebra, and is fixed anteriorly into the two last cervical vertebrae. C. Pig.—The Pig, remarkable for the shortness of its neck and the limited movements of this region, does not show any cervical ligament, properly so called. It is replaced by a super- ficial fibrous raphe', extending from the occipital bone to tlie spinous process of the first dorsal vertebra. ^Journal de MMecine VeW-inaire, p. 122.
