The Temporal Arteries are of good Note, because they are expos'd on the outside, lying even with the Skin. The Crotophite Muscles are so likewise, in regard that they cannot be hurt without danger of Convulsions, by reason of the Pericranium with which they are cover'd. And the Sutures, because the Meninges of the Brain proceed from thence to form the Pericranium.
