The transverse processes of the last cervical are imperforate, consisting of the diapophysis only. The neural arches of the middle dorsal vertebrae are without spines and very narrow, leaving wido unprotected intervals of the neural canal. The bones of the neck are modified to allow of great extent and freedom of inflection.
