To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are long and of small caliber in the third, fourth. fifth and sixth, materially shortened in the seventh; somewhat more so in the eighth, where, for the first time, their anterior opening looks directly dorsad, which latter continues to be the case in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth, the canals increasing in caliber, but at the same time shortening in length as we pass through the series just named. In the fifteenth and sixteenth vertebra', the lateral canals... are parallel with the neural canal, about one third smaller in size, their ventral floors being formed by the pleurapophysial elements. For the most part the comparatively rather small neural canal is subcylindrical in form, being most compressed vertically as we pass towards the distal cervicals, to become more cylindrical again in the ultimate free dorsal. After passing the fourth cervical, and from thence on to include the sixteenth, this tube is markedly of greater caliber behind than it is in front, in any single vertebra of this part of the spinal column.
