Abstract
MY attention has been called to a statement by Prof. Cope (NATURE, July 25, p. 298), that anapophyses are “wanting from the vertebræ of anthropoid apes and man.” He probably means that they are very feebly developed, which is true. I have found them, however, to exist distinctly in Troglodytes and Simia from the eleventh dorsal to the second lumbar vertebra, and in Hylobates from the tenth to the fifteenth trunk vertebra, and sometimes beginning as high up as the third dorsal vertebra.
