The Orbital Branch of the Sujjerior Dental Artery creeps over the lower part of the rim of the orbit, and descends to anastomose with the submaxillary artery. It gives some twigs to the lower eyelid. Nerves. The sensory nerves of the eyelids are derived from the supra-orbital and palpebro-nasal branches of the ophthalmic division of the 5th cranial nerve, and from the orbital branch of the superior maxillary division of the 5th. The supra-orbital nerve emerges by the foramen of the same name, and is distributed to the upper eyelid, and to skin around its point of exit. The palpebro-nasal nen-c sends a branch to supply the lower lid and the strxictures at the inner canthus. The orbital branch of the superior maxillary division of the 5th nerve is distributed in the neighbourhood of the outer canthus. The motor nerve to the orbicularis comes from the 7th, which crosses internal to the nasal canthus. The motor nerve to the levator palpcbrse comes ft'om the 3rd, but cannot be reached at present. THE FACE. The Nostrils, or the Inferior or Anterior Nares. Some points in connection witli these may conveniently be noticed before the student proceeds to dissect the face. The nostril is the entrance to the nasal chamber or fossa—the first segment of the respiratoiy passages. It is a large, somewhat oval opening bounded laterally by the aloe, or mngs, of the nostril. The alsD meet above and below% forming the com- missures, the lower of which is wide and rounded, while the upper is acute. The outer ala is concave in the whole of its extent; but the inner ala, while concave below, forms a convex projection close to the upper commissure. If now the inner wing be manipulated, it will be felt to contain a piece of cartilage which begins above in the convex projection close to the upper commissure, ext
