SENSITIVES;' 303 



In the present, and in certain other chapters, sufficient 

 evidence has probably been given of 



1. The intensity, acuteness, degree, quality, or kind of 

 emotion or feeling that are frequently shown by the lower 

 animals. 



2. The physical or other results of emotion in them. 



3. The variability of emotion the changes of mood to 

 which other animals are as subject as man. 



4. The singular revulsions of feeling that are as apt to 

 occur in other animals as in man. 



5. The vivid, tenacious, or retentive memory or remem- 

 brance of affront, neglect, or injury, as well as of kindness or 

 benefit for instance, in monkeys, elephants, dogs, horses 

 (Watson). 



6. The natural, and sometimes morbid, love of excitement 

 and amusement. 



7. The greater impressionability of 



a. Young and old animals. 



b. Females, especially when pregnant or parturient. 



c. The sick or diseased for instance, those suffer- 



ing from rabies or sunstroke. 



8. The epidemicity of emotion, and the results of the 

 rapid communication of feeling by sympathy, imitation, and 

 imagination. 



9. The demonstrativeness or display of feeling, and the 

 power of control that is, or may be, exerted over its outward 

 expression ; and 



10. The various modes of its expression a subject that 

 belongs to the chapters on ' Language.' 



Emotion, as we have seen, is sometimes so intense as at 

 once to cause death. Of the quality of feeling, the most 

 noticeable feature is what in man is called refinement of feel- 

 ing, which is sometimes observable in dogs accustomed to 

 the society of cultured man, as in certain pet dogs described 

 by Berkeley. The fine feelings of many a dog are both easily 

 and deeply wounded ; how easily and deeply none, however, 

 but a man or woman himself or herself possessed of refined 

 feeling, can appreciate or understand.
