 remove the bone without injuring the periosteum of the orbit. 



2. Cut through the orbital periosteum and find, immediately under the peri- 

 osteum, the frontal nerve. The frontal nerve lies on the levator palpebrai with the 

 supraorbital artery and vein. It is a branch of the ophthalmic part of the fifth

nerve. You will see it divide into two branches : ( i ) the supratrochlear and 

 (2) the supraorbital. The supratrochlear inosculates with the infratrochlear 

 branch of the nasal nerve. The supraorbital comes through the supraorbital 

 foramen, and is distributed to the forehead and inner part of the upper eyelid. 



The levator palpebrae superioris muscle (Fig. 97) lies under the preceding 

 frontal nerve. It is inserted into the tarsal ligament of the upper lid. It lies on
