 bone (O.T. malar), to which it connects both the tarsi. 



Ligamentum Palpebrale Mediale (O.T. Internal Tar sal 

 Ligament}. The medial palpebral ligament is a strong fibrous 

 band which connects the medial ends of both tarsi to the 

 frontal process of the maxilla. It lies between the skin 

 anteriorly, and the lacrimal sac posteriorly. By its upper and 

 lower borders it gives attachment to fibres of the orbicularis

Levator Palpebrse Superioris. Only the anterior expanded 

 tendon of this muscle can be seen at the present stage of the 

 dissection, and that, as a rule, in only a partially satisfactory 

 manner. The muscle arises within the orbital cavity, extends 

 forwards to the upper eyelid, and ends in an expanded tendon 

 which splits into three lamellae ; a superior lamella, which 

 blends with the upper part of the palpebral fascia and is 

 attached with it to the anterior surface of the upper tarsus ; 

 an intermediate lamella, which is connected with the upper
