CHAP. XIII.

Of the Ligamentum Ciliare.

THE last Thing to be considered in the Structure of our Eyes is the Ligamentum Ciliare. But having, in the preceeding Chapter, had occasion to take Notice of the Arch which it forms in passing over the convex Annulus of the vitreous Humour, I have nothing further I need to remark, but what has been before observed in the general Idea of the Eye, which I shall not now repeat, but shall rather take notice of another remarkable Part, the Marsupium Nigrum, which is peculiar to Birds, and is never to be found in other animals.
