mode of distribution of the nerves and blood-vessels on all parts of
the membranous labyrinth, is extremely beautiful and instructive.
Schloss.
No, 38.—A magnified representation, in red wax, of the exterior
of the osseous labyrinth of the ear of a child. The preparation,
marked D, c, 520, was that taken as a model; and the imitation,
is very perfect: the accuracy in the form, relative position,
and proportions of the different parts may be relied upon. The
firmness of the texture of this preparation, together with a wooden
handle, with which it is provided, render it particularly useful for
the purposes of public demonstration.—Houston.
Nos. 39 and 40.-—Magnified models of the tunics and chambers
of the human eye. No. 39, the anterior half of the eye, showing the
external surface of the sclerotic coat, the internal surface of the
retina, and, at the cut margin, the dark coloured choroid coat, interposed
between these tunics; also, the ciliary processes, lens, iris,
pupil, &c. No. 40, the posterior half of the eye, showing, as in
the former, the remaining parts of the sclerotic coat and retina ;
and also, the foramen opticum, the arteria centralis retinae, and
the punctual aureum of Seemmerring. Schloss.
