The portions indicated in black at the inferior extremity of thenasolacrimal duct is a portion of the inferior nasal meatus. X 22 J. PARSONS SCHAEFFER of the ostia are doubtless due to the angle at which the originalcord of cells meets the nasal mucous membrane. The position ofcontact also makes a difference. If the ostium is at the highestpoint of the inferior meatus, , just caudal to the attachmentof the inferior nasal concha to the lateral nasal wall, the openingof the nasolacrimal duct is usually a large, wide, open-mouthedostium, unguarded by folds of mucous membrane (fig. 28).If, on the other hand, the ostium is farther caudal on the lateralwall it is usually slit-like and more or less guarded by folds ofmucous me
