C question

Hi everyone

I am trying to get to terms with programming in C now.

What does the following mean?
I understand that it is a structure called dat_bits but ...
1) what does the 8 and the 24 mean?
2) why is there no name declared in line 3?

1: typedef struct {
2: _REG32 DATA : 8;
3: _REG32 :24;
4:} dat_bits;


Thanx :)
