Posteriorly the arch is notched on each side to form the openings for the exit of the spinal nerves. Pro- jecting dorsally and anteriorly from the arch are two short processes which bear the medially and dorsally facing prezygapophyses (Fig. 17). Just caudad to these processes are somewhat shorter.
