282 DAEWINISM STATED BY DARWIN HIMSELF. 



One instance was observed with the Hindoos, and they 

 themselTes said that it often occurred. So it is with 

 the Chinese. The women of a wild tribe of Malays in 

 the Malacca Peninsula sometimes shed tears when they 

 laugh heartily, though this seldom occurs. With the 

 Dyaks of Borneo it must frequently be the caee, at least

 delicacy, he observed that the corners of its mouth were 

 slightly raised ; thus an expression of satisfaction, partak-

P " 220 With some sects, both past and present, 

 religion and love have been strangely com- 

 bined ; and it has even been maintained, lamentable as 

 the fact may be, that the holy kiss of love differs but 

 little from that which a man bestows on a woman, or a 

 woman on a man. Devotion is chiefly expressed by the
