The orbits of 13 mammalian species (pig, sika deer, domestic sheep, horse, cat, fox, racoon dog, marten, rat, rabbit, crab-eating macaque, japanese macaque and man) were stained with silver nitrate and dissected under a dissecting microscope with special attention to the presence and location of the accessory ciliary ganglion. Some preparations were stained with thionin and examined as whole-mounts in a transmission microscope. The accessory ciliary ganglion was present in all 13 species, although the number and degree of development varied greatly from species to species. The accessory ciliary ganglion could be readily differentiated from the main ciliary ganglion in the following respects: it was located on the short ciliary nerve, and it had no root derived directly from the inferior trunk of the oculomotor nerve and it never attaches to this nerve. In many species, ganglion cells were also scattered in the short ciliary nerves in the stained whole preparations. In a few species, there were one or more small ganglia on the nerve to the inferior oblique muscle.
用硝酸银对13种哺乳动物（猪、梅花鹿、家羊、马、猫、狐狸、貉、貂、大鼠、兔、食蟹猕猴、日本猕猴和人）的眼眶进行染色，并在解剖显微镜下进行解剖，特别注意副睫状神经节的存在和位置。一些标本用硫堇染色，并在透射显微镜下作为整装片进行检查。所有13个物种均存在副睫状神经节，但其数量和发育程度因物种而异。副睫状神经节在以下方面可容易地与主睫状神经节区分开来：它位于睫状短神经上，没有直接来自动眼神经下干的根，并且从不附着于该神经。在许多物种中，神经节细胞也散在于染色整装标本的睫状短神经中。在少数物种中，下斜肌神经上有一个或多个小神经节。
