XLI.—On the Existence of an Osseous Structure in the Vertebral Column of Cartilaginous Fishes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 January 2013
Extract
In the course of an investigation into the structure and composition of the solid frame-work of vertebrated animals, I remarked, in the vertebral column of cartilaginous fishes, an important peculiarity of structure, which seems to have almost entirely escaped the notice of writers on ichthyology and on comparative anatomy.

page 654 note * Even the intervertebral ligamentary apparatus in the Plagiostomi makes a very close approach to the same structure in the Amphibia. In many of the species, especially in those whose vertebral cups are flat, it consists of concentric rings of fibro-cartilaginous matter, with softer albuminous or albumino-cartilaginous matter between them.
