Third Cervical - has the dia- & para-physis centred
slightly by a rather narrow margin enclosing
a wide oval opening 26mil. ext long diam.
Both processes are much more slender than
those of the axis & the margins slightly --
is much narrower; the dia-physis is no more
slender than the para-physis. The two project
backward & somewhat downward. The
lamine of the arch are wide & flat, directed
strongly backward, & united merely in
a blunt spine 30 mil high.
Fourth Cervical - has the 2 processes centred
slightly like the 3rd, but by a narrower margin.
The dia-physis projects downward & only
slightly backward. The lamine of the arch
are not united merely, their being a space
of 15 mil. between their inner edges.
The para-physis projects backward & downward.
Fifth Cervical - The two processes are not
centred distinctly having a space of 40mil
between their ends. The dia-physis projects
downward & very slightly backward; the
lamine of the arch meet merely in
a low blunt ridge.
Sixth Cervical - The upper process is long
slender, & projects downward & strongly
forward. The lower is very broad wide
& flat, projecting downward & strongly
