The Occipito-frontalis (fig. 148) is a broad musculo-fibrous layer, which coversthe whole of one side of the vertex of the skull, from the occiput to the eyebrow.It consists of two muscular slips, separated by an intervening tendinous aponeurosis.The occipital portion^ thin, quadrilateral in form, and about an inch and a half in AURICULAR REGION. 209 length, arises from the outer two-thirds of the superior curved line of the occipitalbone, and from the mastoid portion of the temporal.

The frontal portion is thin, of aquadrilateral form, and intimately adherent to the skin. It is broader, its fibresare longer, and their structure paler than the occipital portion. Its internal fibresare continuous with tNote About ImagesPlease note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
