media, which begins between the openings of Jacobson’s organ and runs 
caudad in the median line, between the foot of the septum nasale and the 
median yomerine suture. Between the choanz the vena subseptalis media 
divides into the two ven subseptales anteriores, which run caudad, one 
on each side of the median line, between the paraseptal cartilage and the 
foot of the septum nasale. Near the posterior end of the paraseptal 
cartilage the vena subseptalis anterior receives from the choana a small 
tributary which drains the median part of the floor of the nasal cavity. 
The vena subseptalis posterior begins below the septum interorbitale 
near the posterior end of the palatine bone; it runs forward near the 
median line and joins the vena subseptalis anterior at the posterior end 
of the paraseptal cartilage, as described above. 
5. VENA! PALPEBRALES. (1) Vena Palpebralis Inferior (v. p. 4. 
Text Fig. 2).—This vein has its origin under the orbital end of the 
ductus naso-lachrymalis and runs caudad along the ventral margin of 
the tarsus of the lower eyelid. As it approaches the posterior canthus 
the vein enlarges gradually and discharges into the palpebral portion of 
the sinus orbitalis. 
(2) Vena Palpebralis Superior (v. p. s., Text Fig. 2).—This vein 
begins near the anterior canthus and runs caudad through the deeper 
part of the cutis plate near the proximal border of the upper eyelid. 
Behind the level of the posterior canthus the vein runs for a short dis- 
tance between the cutis and Leydig’s smooth muscle, through the latter 
of which it finally breaks and discharges into the posterior part of the 
sinus orbitalis. 
6. VENA SUPRATEMPORALIS (v. s. t., Text Fig. 2)—The vena supra- 
temporalis is a subcutaneous vein which runs over the top of the head 
in company with the arteria temporo-muscularis and the ramus recurrens 
n. maxillaris ad n. facialem of Fischer, 52. ‘The vein begins above the 
parotie process, in the region between the parotic portion of the parietal 
bone and the squamosum of Parker, 84. From this region two parallel, 
freely anastomosing veins run forward between the m. temporalis and the 
skin. Anteriorly these veins unite to form a sinus-hke trunk, which 
continues forward and discharges into the dorsal part of the sinus orbitalis. 
The vena supratemporalis probably corresponds to the vena supra- 
orbitalis of Vogt and Jung, 89-94 (Fig. 290, p. 712), who, however, 
represent the vein as discharging into the vena jugularis interna. The 
anterior part of the vena supratemporalis has been observed by Weber, 
77, who apparently considered it an outlet of the sinus orbitalis.
