Summary
JC-B’s essays are the fullest CD has received. His observations on blushing closely agree with James Paget’s. Platysma and horror: Duchenne’s statement doubtful.

To James Crichton-Browne 8 June [1870]
Summary
Duchenne [Mécanisme] has arrived. Has been testing the photographs with 20 or 30 persons; when all or nearly all agree with Duchenne, CD trusts him. Not one understood the "contracted pyramidal of the nose". CD does not think the so-called muscle of lasciviousness worth exhibiting.
His MS [of Descent] is so large he may print only what he has, and make a second volume of what he is now writing on expression.
Discusses photographs he would like to have: baby screaming, person in paroxysm of fear.
