Abstract
SOME authors consider the lateral processes of sacral vertebræ in Lacertilia to be fused sacral ribs. Others deny this view and consider them to be nothing but well-developed transverse processes. While investigating the vertebral column of several individuals of the lizard, Agama stellio, I found one of them which supports the first view.
