THE HEAD, SCALP, CRANIUM, BRAIN, AND FACE 505 Further, we must bear in mind that the central axes of the twoorbital cavities converge posteriorly; consequently, the lateral orbitalwall runs diagonally from in front backward toward the median lineat an angle that deviates about 450 from the sagittal. The projectionsof the straight lines drawn along the outer orbital walls meet in theregion of the dorsum sellae at right angles. The medial orbital walls,on the other hand, run approximately sagittally and diverge but littlefrom behind forward. If we observe the rules here mentioned, then on making the orbitalpunctures we can assuredly avoid an injury of the bulb and of the nervus.

In practice we displace the bulb with the finger from thepoint of entrance, and carry the needle into the depth between theorbital wall and the finger-tip that protects the bulb. By this meanswe keep the needle in the region of the horizontal planes mentioned,and guard against the point of the needle entering the region boundedby both planes and fr
