118 K. S. LASHLEY AND JOHN B. WATSON 



staring at him when he is close and moving, but not following 

 him when he moves out of the direct line of vision. He twice 

 reached out towards Jim, with a quick out-thrusting of the arm, 

 followed by a sweeping movement. Usually the movements of 

 the arms are restless and not directed towards any object. The 

 thumb and fingers of his foot seem to be more readily apposable 

 than they are in the adults. 



When sitting on the shelf Dolly does not hold him so closely 

 as before, but allows him to lean back until he lies flat on his 

 back. 



Jim is becoming more abusive and does not allow Dolly to^ 

 come near him. 



July 1 6. The caretaker reports that as Dolly climbed down 

 from one of the flying rings the baby scrambled around to her 

 back and remained there until she reached the shelf, when he 

 returned to his usual position. The baby is more active today 

 than yesterday. He holds his head up steadily and gazes about ;. 

 moves his arms about and fumbles at his mother's arms and 

 shoulders. 



2.00 P. M. Jim attacked Dolly savagely and we were forced 

 to place Billy, another male monkey, and him, in the winter 

 room adjoining Dolly's yard. When the separation of the 

 monkeys was attempted all were badly frightened and Dolly 

 tore about the cage, leaping to the sides and roof and finally 

 dropping from the roof to the ground. The caretaker stood 

 before the connecting chute after Jim and Billy had entered 

 and Dolly rushed against him violently enough to bruise him 

 severely. At some time, probably when Dolly leaped down 

 from the roof, the baby received a cut above the left eye and 

 a bruise on his right hand. Nevertheless he clung tightly to 

 Dolly without her help during the whole commotion. He cried 

 cut only once, when she leaped from the roof. 



As soon as the chute was closed Dolly became quiet, but 

 went to the window and peered in several times. The baby 

 held tightly to her, with his face close to her breast, for the 

 remainder of the afternoon. 



July i j. The baby is very quiet today and seldom turns his 

 face away from Dolly. He sneezes frequently and always cries 

 afterwards. When he cries Dolly gathers him to her closely.
