and tries to climb in. Makes two such attempts and 
almost succeeded. 
Can now follow a finger at 6 feet. 
Licks its right hind-leg, and holds it in a position 
convenient for the purpose. 
Some incisor teeth have appeared both above and 
below. 
22nd day.-—Distinguishes a finger at 6 feet. 
When I scraped the fingers against the box in which 
it lies, Aisses (surprise). 
Licks herself on neck and chest, a difficult muscular 
feat. 
Biting skin like mother. 
Now walks relatively well. 
On two occasions to-day climbs to top of box from 
the outside, does not go in, but puts paws on inside. 
Does not now return to box so soon when allowed 
out. It walks around, smells at spots on the carpet, but 
wishes to get into the box in about two minutes, and 
manages to scramble in with difficulty. 
It is noticed that the paws spread greatly in walking, 
so that it may be said to be plantigrade at this period. 
Between 6 and 7 P.M., for the last three days, the 
kitten plays a little, lying on its back and using mouth 
and paws. 
A small dog is brought near where it stands on the 
floor. It puts up its back and tail, hisses—even spits— 
with the fur erected. 
Can now follow with the eyes the journal before 
mentioned at a distance of 8 feet. 
Its hearing is also plainly more acute. 
Several times to-day it has stretched up in box, and 
looked around as far as possible. When allowed out it 
goes around investigating with nose and eyes, but still 
soon wants to get back. After failing once or twice, 
manages to scramble in, but without hurting itself.
