To William Ogle 18 March [1871]
Summary
Agrees that in a deaf person the jaw may fall because of concentrated attention.
In surprise, mouth is opened suddenly and chest filled with air. This expression occurs in all parts of the world. Odd that so simple a movement is so perplexing to understand.

To William Ogle 9 November 1870
Summary
Has read WO’s paper [see 7361] with great interest. If WO’s views are confirmed he will be able to explain many odd little details about the colouring of animals.
Can WO observe if the platysma myoides is brought into strong action in people suffering from severe dyspnoea?

Summary
Would like to cite WO’s case of bees perforating white but not blue monkshood (Aconitum napellus) in his next book [Cross and self-fertilisation, pp. 427–8]. Believes it is probably sterile if insects are excluded.

From Galton’s "twin study" he suspects that some progenitor of WO’s had the peculiarities in question.
Has collected cases of signs of assent for a revised edition of Expression.

To William Ogle 17 November [1870]
Summary
Thanks WO for information on platysma, which he did not know could be brought into voluntary action. Is coming to believe it has nothing to do with expression.
On the relation between white colouring and susceptibility to poisonous plants, CD suggests WO send his paper to J. Wyman and propose he investigate whether white as well as black pigs will eat paint-root.

To William Ogle 22 February 1882
Summary
Has rarely read anything more interesting than WO’s introduction to his Aristotle translation. Had no notion what a wonderful man Aristotle was. Linnaeus and Cuvier were mere schoolboys compared to him. His ignorance on some points, as on muscles and the means of movement, is curious.
