Infra-orbital nerv Dissection of the Right Eyelid. The orbicularis oculi has been completely removed. The skin covering the eyelids is thin and delicate, and is continuous, at their margins, with their conjunctival lining. It contains numerous small sudoriferous glands and fine hairs, the latter being provided with sebaceous follicles. Branched pigment cells are present in the cutis, and pig- ment exists also Tendon of levator in the deep layers paipebrs supenoris of the epidermis. The subcutaneous tissue is loose and devoid of fat, and in it are found the fibres of the orbicularis oculi muscle—a small separate bundle of which, termed the muscle of Riolan, occupies the margin of the lids behind the eyelashes. The glandulae tarsales ( Mei- bomian glands) are elongated sebaceous glands with numerous lateral offshoots; they are embedded in the tarsi and are filled with cubical epithelium. There are from twenty-five to thirty in the superior eyelid, and from twenty to twenty-five in the inferior; they open by small ducts, about 1 mm. in length, along the lid margins, behind the eyelashes; the ducts are lined with stratified epithelium, placed on a basement membrane. Between the eyelashes and the muscle of Eiolan are two or three rows of modified sudoriferous glands, termed the glands of Moll. H. Miiller described a layer of non -striped muscle in eacb lid : in tbe superior extending from tbe tendon of tbe levator palpebral superioris to tbe upper tarsus, and in tbe inferior connecting tbe inferior tarsus with tbe inferior oblique muscle. The eyelashes are curved, silky hairs which project from the free margins of th
