NERVES OF THE SCLEROTIC. 463 



At the same time the anterior distribution of the ciliary nerves 

 was here very clearly brought into view. In his observations 

 on the sclerotic of the Rabbit he always selected young 

 albino animals, and here found that, quite in correspondence 

 with the relations of the nerves entering the sclerotic of the 

 Frog, there was a primary expansion of exactly the same kind, 

 and a single division of the trunks, which were then speedily 

 lost. The whole appearance of this expansion was neverthe- 

 less so similar to the type of that above described in the Frog, 

 that he had no hesitation in regarding the latter decisively as 

 composed of nerves destined for the fibrous membrane ; and 

 he had as little doubt that in the same animals the conjunc- 

 tival nerves terminate immediately beneath the epithelium, 

 although they only stain with gold as far as to the axis 

 cylinders.
