This dorsal compo- nent is the transverse process proper (Figs. 10 and 11, c), while the ventral portion represents a rib, and is hence known as the processus costarius (/). The expanded plate formed by the union of these two processes is directed nearly ventrad and somewhat craniad in the third, fourth, and fifth vertebrae. The two components of the process gradually separate as we.
