upper and lower lids, uniting with the internal palpebral. It gives off one or 

 two malar branches, one of them pass through the malar foramen to anasto- 

 mose with the transverse facial, the other passes through a foramen in the malar 

 bone to anastomose with the deep temporal in the temporal fossa. A branch 

 from the lachrymal passes through the sphenoidal fissure to the dura mater to 

 anastomose with the middle meningeal artery. (Plate CCIII). 



The supraorbital artery arises above the optic nerve and passes above the

muscles and b< neath the root' of the orbil onto the forehead through the supra- 

 orbital foramen with the supraorbital nerve. While in this foramen it gives off 

 a branch to the diplce. After leaving the foramen it divides into superficial and 

 deep branches. It supplies muscles, integument and the pericranium on the 

 forehead, h anastomoses with the frontal, anterior temporal, artery of the 

 opposite side, and angular artery. It supplies the parts at the inner canthus. 

 The Superior rectus and Levator palpebral are supplied by it. 



The posterior ethmoidal is smaller than the anterior ethmoidal. It enters 

 the posterior ethmoidal foramen, supplying the posterior ethmoidal cells, giving
