    Ligamentous fibres pass also between the spinous processes, and there are others between the transverse processes. The Ligamentum Nucha? is a tendinous septum be- ginning at the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, and running up to the occiput, where it is fixed into its vertical ridge. It is connected interme- diately to the spinous processes of all the vertebra? above the seventh, so that it forms a partition between the muscles of the two sides of the neck. All the Oblique Processes have their capsular and synovial membranes. SECTION II. Ligaments of the Thorax. The heads of the ribs and their tubercles are fur- nished with capsular and synovial membranes, uniting them with the corresponding articular surfaces of the vertebrae, and admitting of motion. The Ligamenta Transversaria Interna arise from the inferior surface of each transverse process under its
