The Authors have studied the motor and proprioceptive innervation of the retractor bulbi muscle of the lamb. The motor innervation of this muscle is supplied by the abducens nerve. The proprioceptive fibers from the muscle spindles of the retractor bulbi muscle travel in the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve and have their perikaria in the semilunar ganglion.
