Tomodactylus saxatilis differs from all other named species of Syrrhophus in having conspicuous lumbarglands and in lacking inguinal glands.
The elevation or flatness of the lumbar glands seems to be due to individual variation; living specimens in the field had conspicuous and protuberant, or non-elevated, indistinct lumbar glands.
Lumbar glands are longer than broad, at least one third the distance from axilla to groin, lateral and usually high, and often conspicuous and protuberant.
The main injury was in the lumbar region over the upper lumbar vertebræ.
However, I was unable to detect mobility or crepitus in any of the processes, spinous or transverse, either of the dorsal or lumbar vertebræ.
Probably not; and more especially if it is a lumbar artery, and injured in the foramen through which it passes from the vertebra.
The spinous process of the lower dorsal vertebra seemed to be unusually prominent, leading to the supposition that the spinous process of the upper lumbar vertebra might be fractured and depressed.
There was considerable tenderness over thelumbar region.
I supposed that it came from one of the lumbar or inter-costal arteries that had been injured by the supposed fracture of the process of the vertebra.
A small spot, as large as a ten cent piece, has sloughed, making a hole into the pouch over the lower lumbar vertebra.
It is, however, to be noted that Burmeister himself actually observed armour of this kind covering only the lumbarregion of the trunk.
To decide between these two possibilities, it is necessary to wait for additional information concerning the anterior dorsal armour of Mylodon as precise as that published by Burmeister in reference to the lumbar shield.
Space the ribs carefully by starting a thread from the neck, and taking a turn around each rib from the first to the last, finally making fast the remaining end of the thread to one of the lumbar vertebrae.
In birds the organs of generation lie close up to the lumbar vertebrae, near the kidneys, in the region called "the small of the back.
The pelvis is to be separated from the spinal column at the last lumbar vertebra; and if necessary the spinal column may be again dislocated about the middle.
Cut away the flesh from the pelvis, both inside and out, and the flesh of the tenderloin from underneath the lumbar vertebrae.
The best way to reach this region for examination is to make a cut clear across the wall of the abdomen, break the back over at the last pair of ribs, and the intestines will at once fall down, exposing the lumbar region.
Beginning at the lower point of the breastbone, detach the walls of the abdomen from the ends of the short ribs, down to the lumbar vertebrae, and so on around the iliac margin of the pelvis.
It may develop, as already shown, very markedly in the lumbar regions.
The large number of lumbar vertebrae is peculiar among Edentates.
The typical American edentates, or Xenarthra, are characterized by the circumstance that the last dorsal and all the lumbar vertebrae carry additional articular facets, or abnormal articulations (xenarthral).
Thorax campanulate, with three short and broad, triangular lattice-wings, the upper edge of which is nearly horizontal, the lower nearly vertical and decurrent from the height of the collar to the lumbar stricture.

The genus Alacorys and the following Cycladophora differ from the preceding two genera in the formation of the radial ribs, which arise from the lumbar stricture, and lie in the wall of the abdomen, but are absent on the thorax.
Theophormis may be derived from the similar Sethophormis by development of a lumbar constriction, and a third joint or abdomen.
Feet from the girdle (or the lumbar stricture) little divergent, nearly straight.
From the base of the horn arise three divergent radial ribs, running in the wall of the two first joints to the lumbar stricture (loc.
The second constriction, which separates the second and third joints (thorax and abdomen) is called the lumbar constriction.
The latter had apparently been retracted upwards, and lay to the left of the lumbar spine.
On the other hand, anæsthesia or hyperæsthesia in the area of distribution of the lumbar nerves in the groin, the external cutaneous and the long saphenous in the thigh, were not uncommon.

The patient again improved, but a fortnight later a swelling and apparent signs of local peritonitis developed in the right inguinal and lower umbilical and lumbar regions.
At the post-mortem a fracture of the first lumbar lamina was discovered, with some splintering of the bone; the lumbar spinous process was attached and in its normal position.
Proximal portion of the colon extends obliquely between the right lumbar region and the spleen.
Inasmuch as the inferior mesenteric vessels originally passed to the descending colon between the layers of the mesocolon they will now apparently be placed beneath the (secondary) parietal peritoneum of the left lumbar region.
This peritoneum merges along the dorsal margin of this caudal surface of the pancreas with the general parietal peritoneum covering the left lumbar region and the caudal part of ventral surface of the left kidney.
Their dorsal surfaces are uncovered by peritoneum and can be reached in the lumbar region, laterad of the kidney, without opening the peritoneal cavity (lumbar colotomy).
In the further development of the adult human arrangement the changes below the level of the transverse colon and mesocolon result in the fixation of the ascending and descending colon to the background of the right and left lumbar regions.
The descending mesocolon turns its original right leaf ventrad, its left leaf dorsad, and the latter adheres to the primitive parietal peritoneum covering the left lumbar region and ventral surface of left kidney.
This establishes, as already stated, a secondary parietal peritoneal surface in the left lumbarregion derived from the original right leaf of the descending mesocolon.
Hence a sagittal section through the right lumbar region, right kidney and descending duodenum would, immediately after rotation and establishment of the transverse mesocolon, show the peritoneal arrangement indicated in Fig.
On the left: right layer of mesocolon (secondary lumbar parietal peritoneum in the adult human subject).
Cunningham, "The Lumbar Curve in Man and the Apes," Cunningham Memoirs of the Royal Irish Academy, No.

Gunshot Wound of the Spinal Region--Lodgment of the Missile in the Lumbar Muscles.
From this apparently a curvature of the spinal column results in the lumbar region.
Apparently only, for when the child is laid down and the morbid position of the thigh is restored the curvature of the lumbar column disappears.
In the Proboscidea there are twenty-three thoraco-lumbar vertebrae, of which nineteen or twenty bear ribs.
The odontoid process at an early stage becomes fused with the centrum of the second cervical vertebra, and the number of thoraco-lumbar vertebrae is always nineteen.

A very tender spot was complained of at the junction of the last lumbar vertebra with the sacrum.
The spinal cord commences at the posterior opening (occipital foramen) of the cranial cavity, and terminates posteriorly in the lumbar region at the upper third of that portion of the spinal canal belonging to the sacrum.
It is thick, white in color, irregularly cylindrical in shape, slightly flattened above and below and reaches its largest diameter in the lower cervical and lumbar regions.
In those cases which have exhibited much paralysis of the hind legs before death the cord may be congested in the lumbar region (loins).
In selecting the point for using the trocar a spot on the left side equally distant from the last rib, the hip bone, and the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebræ must be chosen.

The transverse processes of the ninth thoracic are a little curved backward, and on the first lumbar and succeeding vertebrae bent forward.
The height of the centrum of the ninth lumbar is 63 mm.
The neural spines increase in length from the first lumbarto the fourth, those on the remaining lumbars being subequal, but the spine on the ninth lumbar is a little longer than the others.
Tenth lumbar (last): Centrum like that in Barnegat skeleton.
It is possible, of course, that the real eleventh thoracic is lacking, and that this individual had thirteen lumbar vertebrae, but of this there is no positive evidence.
The centra increase in length posteriorly, the last lumbar having the greatest length of any vertebra in the column.
There is, however, no trace of a facet for the articulation of such a rib on the end of the transverse process of what appears to be the first lumbar vertebra.
They are longer on the first lumbar and incline a little forward.
This would ordinarily be of little importance, as in nearly all kinds of cetaceans a variation of one, or even two, in the number of thoracic and lumbarvertebrae in different individuals of the same species is commonly met with.
Length of the bodies of the lumbar and anterior caudal vertebrae about equal to their width.
There are largely developed chevron-bones on the under side of the tail, the presence of which indicates the distinction between caudal and lumbar vertebrae.
Transverse processes of the dorsal vertebrae gradually transferred from the arches to the bodies of the vertebrae without any sudden break, and becoming posteriorly continuous serially with the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae.
The lumbar and caudal vertebrae are numerous and large, and, as their arches are not connected by articular processes (zygapophyses), they are capable of free motion in all directions.
Hence they are seen, when standing, with the hands clasped over the occiput, or the lumbar region, which would seem necessary for balance or ease of posture.
The vertebral column presents slight but distinct indications of the curvature so characteristic of Man, and is nearly as much concave forward in its dorso-lumbar region as in a child.
