On the basis of above results, the author wishes to compare and discuss with those of his predecessors, on diverging features, ramifications, anastomosing views and distributing features, involving the temporal muscle.
1. Posterior Auricular Artery: In dog, cat and goat, branche s from this artery are distributed to the temporal muscle. Ellenberger describes in dog, R. temporalis posterior s. occipitalis of A. auricularis magna s. posterior supplies the posterior margin of the muscle. In cat, Hü rlimann states a thick R. muscularis temporalis of A. auricularis magna is distributed to the posterior portion of the deep layer of the muscle, and Reighard and Jennings ('30) also state of one thick branch of the same artery to the temoral muscle and muscles of the occipital region. The artery, except in human subject, supplies mainly the auricle, and partly the temporal muscle. So, of the auricular branches it has fairly been reported in detail in literature, but of temporal muscular branches nothing is beyond the above-mentioned.
