strong tendon of approxirjiately 8 miTi. across, and is seen to lie 

 against and somewhat l)elow the trochlea. After the flat tendon, 

 long about 3 or 4 mm. has changed into muscle fibres, the mikscle 

 here also gets narrower, and when it follows its way below the 

 muse, obliquus sup. has a breadth of 3 mm. and a thickness of 

 1 mm. At a distance of 7 mm. fiom the medial orbital wall, the 

 muscle widens again, as also happened on the left side, because 

 fibres, coming from the medial border of the muse, levator pali)el)rae 

 bend medially and pass into the muse, transversus. Subsequently 

 the muscle decussates the muse, levator palpebrae at right angles 

 and glides almost entirely below the muse, levator. Only two nari-ow 

 muscular bundles of the muse, levator, each about 1 mm. across 

 (a Fig. 1) follow their way through resp. below the muse, transversus, and 

 after proceeding anteriorly, join the bulk of the muse, levator. At 

 the point of decussation the breadth of the muse, transversus is 

 6 mm.; that of the muse, levator 14 mm. Then the muse, transversus 

 extends further to the lateral orbital wall, glides below the gland- 

 lacrimalis and attaches itself in the same Wciy as on the left side 

 to the lateral orbital wall. 



The union of the muse, transvei'sus with the lower sheet of the 

 muse, levator palpebrae accords completely with that of the left 

 side. The muse, tarsalis sup. is still more strongly developed here

than the left one, above all laterally. The free border of the lower 

 sheet of the muse, ievatoi' palpebrae is here ±5 mm. in length; 

 the lower sheet then unites with the lateral extension of the muse, 

 transversus, and both form as on the left side a tendinous sheet, 

 attached to the lateral orbital wall with a breadth of 18 mm. Here
