. Breviora. 26 BREVIORA No. 465 vertebrae in the anterior series. The more posterior vertebrae have neither transverse processes nor haemal arches. Three ribs are preserved in SAM 1068. These are associated with the three vertebrae seen between the shoulder girdle and the hand. The more anterior of these is clearly double-headed. The separation of the two articular surfaces is less distinct posteriorly. Small, needle-like gastralia are present posteriorly, but these are disturbed so their natural arrangement is unknown. This is the only evidence of gastralia in therapsids (Romer, 1956).. Figur
