Fifth cervical: Arch and spine broken. Arch nearly as broad as the anterior epiphysis of the centrum. Inferior lateral process short, straight, and directed obliquely outward.
Sixth cervical: Spine broken. Arch complete, nearly as wide as the anterior epiphysis. Inferior lateral process short, thick, knobbed, and directed obliquely outward and a very little forward. The left longer.
Seventh cervical: Spine obsolete. Arch complete, as wide as the anterior epiphysis. No superior lateral process or metapophysis. A thick articular facet for the head of the first rib on the middle of the side of the centrum. No inferior lateral process.
Fused spines of the first to fourth cervicals bent backward; the mass broad antero-posteriorly and rounded at the tip.
Newport (male).—First cervical with the foramen over the anterior articular facets incomplete, and the borders of the facets less raised. The facets also broader and more declined. Inferior lateral process thicker, somewhat tapering, and nearly transverse.
Second cervical: Inferior lateral process much shorter than that of first cervical, about parallel with it, but with the tip bent forward. Superior lateral process short, thick, and bent backward; joined to the inferior process on the right side, inclosing an oval foramen.
Third cervical: A short, straight, triangular superior process on the right side; that on the left short and blunt. Inferior lateral process long, thick, club-shaped, and curved backward.
Fourth cervical: Inferior lateral process similar to the last in shape, but shorter, broad and flat, and only slightly curved backward. Neural arch and spine separate from those of the third cervical; the arch rather smaller than those preceding it, and reducing the size of the neural canal.
Fused spines of the first to third cervicals nearly vertical, rather high, and obtusely pointed.
Fifth cervical: Spine pointed and quite long. Arch complete. Inferior lateral process short, squared, flattened, and directed outward obliquely.
