(g) The lacrimal gland (gl. lacrimalis) is a much smaller, darker coloured, greatly lobulated structure lying close to the skull in the temporal angle of the orbit. An outlying portion is situated in the back part of the temporal foramen, where it overlies the tendon of the temporal muscle. The gland communicates by several fine ducts with the caudal part of the inner surface of the upper eyelid. Described by some authors as inferior lobe of the lacrimal gland, a similar mass extends forward immediately internal to the z^^gomatic arch and near the anterior end of the orbit, where the gland expands considerably, lies dorsal as well as medial to the arch. This is the infraorbital gland of most authors. Its duct opens near those of the lacrimal gland proper, a short distance behind and below the posterior connection of the two eyelids. The zygomatic gland (gl. zygomatica—infraorbital gland of earlier editions) is a rather small, white or yellow gland lying in the.
