Discusses the bristling of hair in melancholics and the action of the platysma myoides muscle and the grief muscles in the insane.
Thanks for MS observations on expression. Discusses hair standing on end in terror and rage. Asks JC-B to observe contraction of platysma myoides. "Your description of the grinning and exposure of the canine teeth under furious rage is excellent. I presume that you would not object to my quoting it." Asks about contraction of "grief muscles". Comments on blushing. Offers to send book by G. B. A. Duchenne [Mécanisme de la physionomie humaine (1862)].
Thanks for information about expression.
Comments on JC-B’s photographs of insane people.
Sends copy of Duchenne [see 6755].
Asks for further information about platysma, his bête noire for a year or two.
