J. Scott (14) Hindoo babies [crossed] children "enraged throw themselves on the back or bellies & with spreading arms & legs, kick & cry most bitterly" – One observer says the native Australian children be onto back for crying again any in any country.

[Expression, p. 241: "Young children, when in a violent rage roll on the ground on their backs or bellies, screaming, kicking, scratching, or biting everything within reach. So it is, as I hear from Mr. Scott, with Hindoo children; and, as we have seen, with the young of the anthropomorphous apes."
