    the ribs, and do not present any on their transverse apo- physes. 3rd. Lumbar vertebrce: they are five in number; their general characters are: a large body; a broad, spinous apophysis ; transverse apophyses, which are long and rather thin, terminating in a point; extensive articulating apo- physes, the superior turned inwards, the inferior outwards ; a vertebral foramen (rachidien) triangular in its circum- ference ; it is smaller than in the cervical vertebrae, but larger than in the dorsal. The vertebra? articulate with each other by amphiar- throsis or articulation by continuity, as also the last lumbar vertebra with the sacrum. The articulation of the head with the first cervical, and of this with the second, as also the dorsal vertebrae with the ribs, is effected by contiguity of surfaces; it is a double arthrodia; the articulation of the odontoid apophysis with the first cervical vertebra, is a simple lateral gynglimus. Internal structure and development.—The compact sub- stance placed on the exterior, constitutes but a thin layer on the bodies of the vertebrae, which abound in cellular substance : they are developed by three points of ossifica- tion, one for the body, and one for each lateral portion. OF THE PELVIS. It is composed of the sacrum, coccyx, and the two haunch bones. From the union of these different portions results an osseous cavity, more spacious above than below, divided into large and small pelvis. They are separated by a con- traction called the superior strait, (abnominal,) in order to distinguish it from a similar contraction at the bottom of the small pelvis, called the inferior strait (perineal). OF THE SACRUM. Situation and figure.—Single, regular, situated below he last lumbar vertebra, above the os coccyx, and between the haunch bones. Division.—A posterior surface: it presents in the middle a series of eminences, which correspond to the spinons
