It is continuous in front with the cornea; behind with the optic nerve sheath. In some vertebrates, but not in mammals, plates of bone are developed in the anterior half of the sclerotic. The Tapetum lucidum is absent in the human and primate eye. It gives the metallic lustre seen on the retinal surface of the eye of the ox, and is formed by a layer of fine fibres which are developed on the retinal surface of the choroid

(7) The Capsule of Tenon, the bursa or connective-tissue socket of the eyeball, and is developed in the mesoblast surrounding the eyeball. A lymph space separates it from the sclerotic, which is but slightly marked until after birth. The choanoid muscle (retractor bulbi or Midler's muscle) which surrounds the posterior part of the eyeball as a muscular hood in mammals and verte- brates generally, has disappeared in man and the higher primates. Probably its fibrous remnant helps to form the capsule of Tenon. Formation of the Orbit (Fig. 150).—The orbit is formed (1) above by the capsule of the fore-brain in which the frontal nasal {lat. nas. asc. proc. max.

In the maxillary process the malar bone and superior maxilla (except the ascending nasal process) are.
