Excerpt from The Clinical Journal, 1898, Vol. 11 of 2 There remain for description the peripheral portions of these three subdivisions. As regards the distribution in the various bones and parts of the face, these are important only so far as they involve the question of the possibility of removing the trunk of each division. The first or ophthalmic division extends in the orbit from the inner end of the Sphenoidal fissure straight outwards to the supra-orbital notch, and can be reached in any part Of its course. The second division issuing from the foramen rotundum lies in the spheno-maxillary fossa, and while giving nasal branches to Meckel's ganglion and the mucous membrane of the nose, turns outwards to gain the middle of the posterior margin of the antrum, lying upon which and covered only by fibrous tissue it enters the infra-orbital canal at a point about the centre of the antral roof; here the anterior dental branch leaves it, and the nerve runs forward through the infra-orbital foramen, to the periosteum, of which its sheath is firmly adher ent, and is then distributed in thick branches to the ala of the nose and the upper lip.
