Demonftrates a Face full of Fear and Terror. 
1. Here the Occipito-Frontalis drags up the Eye- 
brows, and wrinkles-the Forehead tranfverfly. 
2. The Aperiens Palpebram on each Side pulls open 
the Lids with Violence a great way above the 
Pupils , which are as it were fufpended below the 
Equator , by the Remiffion of the Elevators . 
The Digafiricus and LatiJJimus Colli pull down 
the lower Jaw. 
The Reafon why the Eyes and Mouth are fud- 
denly open'd in Frights, feems to be, that the Ob- 
ject of Danger may be the better perceived and 
avoided; as if Nature intended to lay open all the 
Inlets to the Senfes for the Safety of the Animal $ 
the Eyes, that they may fee their Danger; and the 
Mouth, which is in this Cafe an Afliftant to the 
Ears, that they may hear it. This may perhaps fur 
prife fomc, that the Mouth fhould be necefiary to 
hear by; but it is a common thing, to fee Men, 
whofe Hearing is not very good, open their Mouths 
with Attention when they liften, and it is fome 
Help to them: The Reafon is, that there is a Paflfage 
from the Meatus auditorius , which opens into the 
Mouth.
