The lateral boundaries of the first vertebral run nearlv parallel and the scute is nearly as wide in front as it is behind. It has a length of 56 mm., a posterior breadth of 63 mm., and an anterior breadth of about 58 mm. The lateral sulcus on the left side is deflected somewhat toward the right side as it passes forward. It is possible that an accessory lateral scute is cut ofF from the front of the usual first lateral scute and lies to the left of the first vertebral. It is provisionally represented in the diagram Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
