The newly formed bone arising from the bodies of the vertebrae may be seen shooting towards the adjoining vertebra, where it is meeting similar bony processes. Two dorsal vertebrae of a lion, firmly anchylosed anteriorly. Six lower dorsal and first lumbar vertebrae, partially anchylosed, [by pro- cesses of new bone projecting from the anterior edges of the adjoining vertebrae, to obviate an increasing curvature forwards.] Six dorsal vertebrae, in the state of firm lateral anchvlosis. The five lower dorsal vertebrae of a laterally incurvated spine, showing that an additional support of new bone has been deposited on the sides of the bodies, in the hollow of the curve; forming an anchylosis. Four dorsal vertebrae, anchylosed along the sides of their bodies. Four dorsal vertebrae, anchylosed along the front of their bodies. ' Two lumbar vertebrae, united by lateral anchylosis. Three cervical vertebrae of an ostrich, anchylosed. Two cervical vertebrae of the same bird, anchylosed in a similar manner. Two lower cervical vertebrae of the same bird, anchylosed laterally, with some distortion. A dorsal vertebra of the same bird, with which the head of a rib that had been fractured is anchylosed. All the cervical and four dorsal vertebrae of a lion, firmly anchylosed. The scapula and os humeri of a lion, showing anchylosis in progress, in consequence of the formation of bony processes which pass from the scapula towards the humerus, and from the humerus towards the scapula. Two lumbar vertebrae of a white bear, anchylosed laterally. Two lumbar vertebrae of a horse, anchylosed laterally. Six dorsal vertebrae of a horse, anchylosed both by their bodies and spinous processes. A longitudinal section of five dorsal vertebrae of a horse, united by lateral anchylosis. A portion of the spine of a cartilaginous fish, [probably a large ray,] showing anchylosis in progress, in consequence of a supposed fracture of one of the vertebrae.
