Expression

8vo. Pamph. (958) Donders on action on eyes of violent expiration.

[DONDERS. ------ ACTION OF EYE-LIDS. ---------- 958]

[Expression, p. 161, n16: "Prof. Donders remarks (ibid. p. 28), that, "After injury to the eye, after operations, and in some forms of internal inflammation, we attach great value to the uniform support of the closed eyelids, and we increase this in many instances by the application of a bandage. In both cases we carefully endeavour to avoid great expiratory pressure, the disadvantage of which is well known."]

apparently used p. 160 &c [not in Darwin's hand.]

(959) Virchow - on yawning reflex action &c &c Cf p. 35

[VIRCHOW. ------ RÜCKENMARK.---------- 959]

[Expression, p. 35, n9: "Prof Huxley remarks ('Elementary Physiology,' 5th edit. p. 305) that reflex actions proper to the spinal cord are natural; but, by the help of the brain, that is through habit, an infinity of artificial reflex actions may be acquired. Virchow admits ('Sammlung wissenschaft. Vorträge,' &c., "Ueber das Rückenmark," 1871, ss. 24, 31) that some reflex actions can hardly be distinguished from instincts; and, of the latter, it may be added, some cannot be distinguished from inherited habits."]

(970) Dr Keen important on 'Pyramidalis nasi'

[970 ---- KEEN, WW.---- LARYNGEAL NERVES OF CRIMINAL]

Plumtre on Elocution might be worth consulting.

[Charles John Plumptre. 1876. King's College lectures on elocution; or, the physiology and culture of voice and speech, and the expression of the emotions by language, countenance, and gesture. New edition. London: T. J. Allman.

Plumptre's acknowledgement of Darwin on the preface: "In conclusion, I have only to express my best thanks to Mr. Darwin for his kind permission to use his diagrams of the Muscles of Expression in the Human Face, and to Mr. William Carter and Mr. Godfrey Hall for the drawings they have been good enough to make for me as illustrations for this book." Darwin's letter to Plumptre on pp. 224-225 is transcribed in F2287.]
