Excerpt: ... r. maxillaris (mx. V) in the strict sense. The former is composed wholly or nearly so of the very coarse lateralis fibres and is a portion of the r. buccalis. The r. maxillaris, after separation from these buccalis fibres, contributes to them a general cutaneous bundle and gives off for the remainder of its coarse numerous small twigs for the skin of the side of the head in front of the eye and for the outer surface of the upper jaw. There are also given off large branches (apparently communis fibres) for the mucous lining of the jaw and the edges of the upper lip. These regions abound in taste buds and there is no doubt that these are supplied by this nerve, for there is no other obvious nerve supply. Other branches, doubtless also communis fibres, were traced into the dentary canal of the premaxillary bone and apparently innervate its teeth. Stannius (p. 42) mentions these fibres for the mucosa of the mouth and also in several cases anastomoses with terminal twigs of the r. palatinus, which seem to be absent here. It is evidently a portion of this communis element in the r. maxillaris which corresponds to the nerve supply for the maxillary barblet of siluroids (Pollard), as suggested by Allis ('97, p. 635). The remainder of the infra-orbital trunk, comprising lateralis and general cutaneous fibres, runs up along the inner and front walls of the orbit and then passes farther mesad and continues cephalad under the parethmoid bone along the inner side of the lower end of the olfactory fossa and under the posterior nasal aperture. It turns dorsad along the cephalic face of the lateral part of the parethmoid and laterally of the olfactory sac. While still lying close to the mucous membrane of the olfactory sac, which is not in this region sensory, it breaks ...
