Fig. 574. — A diagrammatic representation of the arrangement of the nerve 

 bundles which enter the periphery of the cornea in different planes (methylene 

 blue). 



Upper left cpadrant : the nerve bundles entering the cornea from the 

 episcleral plane. Upper right qviadrant : entering from the subconjunctival 

 plane. The lower half shows the manner in which the plexiform pattern of 

 nerve fibres arises from these bundles. It is to be noted that they are not by 

 any means all radially disposed and that some fibres pass from linibus to 

 limbus across the centre of the cornea.

Fig. 576. — Nerve terminals in the epithelium showing the axons piercing 

 1*1 nian's membrane, multiplying and passing in all directions in the
