ciated with the branch to organ 7. On the left side there were, 
however, between these two groups, two pair of trigeminal 
branches, one branch in each pair lying above, or internal to, 
and the other below, or external to, the facialis. Some of these 
nerves pierced the cranial cartilage and issued on the top of 
the cranium, others were distributed to fatty and other tissues 
above the eye. One of the nerves in each pair was double at 
its origin. Intimately associated with an internal branch in 
the anterior pair there was an external branch which arose 
toward the base of the ophthalmicus trigemini, ran forward 
closely applied to the external surface of the ophthalmicus 
facialis, and, turning inward across the upper surface of that 
nerve, joined the internal branch referred to. So closely and 
intimately was this branch associated with the facialis that 
Mr. Nomura for some time stoutly maintained that it was a 
branch of that nerve, although repeatedly assured that, there 
being no supraorbital organs between organs 6 and 7, there 
could be no branches of the ophthalmicus facialis between the 
branches to those organs. This marked instance of misinter- 
pretation by an exceedingly careful workman is given simply 
to enforce the statement already made that many so-called 
anastomoses may be simply instances of intimate juxtaposi- 
tion, and that similar misinterpretations made by others have 
undoubtedly given rise to much of the confusion in the litera- 
ture of the subject. 
The branch of the ophthalmicus facialis to organ 5 supra- 
orbital is given off as the main nerves pass to the upper sur- 
face of the chondrocranium, and it had on the left side no 
trigeminal branch associated with it. On the right side two 
branches arose from the trigeminus near it, both passing out- 
ward and forward below the facialis, and both distributed to 
fatty and other tissues above and in front of the eye. 
The branch of the facialis to organ 4 is given off after the 
nerve has entered the groove in the frontal, and has passed, or 
is about to pass, above the hind end of the premaxillary. The 
branches to organs 3, 2, and I are given off after the nerve 
passes under the nasal, the nerve ending in organ I. 
On a level with the facial branch to organ 4, a branch is
