(After Ellenberger, in Leisering's Atlas.) maxillary sinus which are seen in the macerated skull are closed in the fresh state by mucous membrane. The maxillary sinus is excavated chiefly in the maxilla, lacrimal, and malar, and is not divided by a septum as in the horse. It extends forward as far as the facial tuberosity, or a little further in old animals. Its dorsal limit is indicated approximately by a line drawn from the infraorbital foramen to the upper margin of the orbit. It is continued into the lacrimal bulla to a point nearly opposite to.
