and infra-orbital; then an artery to the palate, the superior
palatine; the upper pharyngeal, which plays about the spha°-
uoid sinus; and lastly, the nasal artery, which ig transmitted
through the spbffiBo-palatine foramen to the cavity of the

nostrils.

8. A. temporalis, called also superficial temporal, which
perforates the parotid gland, and sends off the transversalis
faciei, which inosculates with the arteries of the face; the
deep temporal and several branches which go to the car,
forehead, and about the temples.

This artery is frequently opened in inflammatory affections
of the head.

The internal carotid leaves the external at the angle of
the jaw, and proceeds by the par vagum and intercostal nerve
to the carotid canal in the petrous portion of the tempo-
ral bone, where it is shaped like the letter s, and enters the
cranium at the side of the sella turcica, having given off two
very small twigs to the pituitary gland, and 3d 4th, and 5th
pair of nerves ; and when it has reached the anterior clinoirl
process, it sends off—

1. Arteria ophthaltriica, which is distributed on the eye, and
gives off the arteria lackrymalis, centralis retinae, the fmiscu-
lares, the ctkmoidalis anterior et posterior, and the svpra-orbi-
talis velfrontalis.

'2. A. anterior cerebri, which proceeds before the sella tur-
cica, unites with its fellow, and forms the circle of Willis,
from which a branch proceeds to the third venticle, sep'.um
liicidum, and the arteria corporis callosi.

3. A. media cerebrii, orfossce Silvii, which runs between the
anterior and middle lobes of the brain, gives off the artery of
the choroid plexv.s, and is !o«t on the middle lobe of the brain,
