B LocKwooD. (Plate I.) The surgical and physiological importance which belongs to the anatomy of the orbit is so considerable, that anatomists of acknowledged repute have devoted themselves to its investiga- tion. Hardly any fact of importance has escaped the attention of at least one observer; and any addition to the literature of the subject might seem needless, were it not that the greatest difference of opinion prevails upon many interesting points. The writer is not so presumptuous as to think that his decisions will be accepted where eminent men have disagreed, but it may be deemed of service if the various statements are collated, and, where necessary, amplified and explained.
