8. The auricularis superior ([Fig. 63], k). Transect.
9. The abductor auris longus ([Fig. 63], m). Transect.
10. The abductor auris brevis ([Fig. 63], l). Transect.
11. The epicranius ([Fig. 63], h, h′). In dissecting this muscle the intermedius scutulorum and corrugator supercilii medialis may be cut by an incision parallel to the middle line but a short distance to one side of it.
12. The zygomaticus ([Fig. 64], d). This and the two following muscles may usually be best seen running beneath the fibres of the platysma, without reflecting the latter. If necessary, however, the platysma may be transected and reflected, though this can be done only with great difficulty.
13. The submentalis ([Fig. 64], c).
14. The depressor conchæ ([Fig. 64], b).
The zygomaticus, submentalis, and depressor conchæ should now be transected one or two centimeters from the external ear. The corrugatores supercilii lateralis and medialis may be cut across between the eye and the ear, and reflected. There is thus exposed:
15. The frontoscutularis. Transect near the scutiform cartilage.
16. The adductor auris inferior ([Fig. 64], o). Transect near its insertion.
