[147]. A mother sends me a curious observation bearing on this. One of her children when four months old was carried by her up-stairs in the dark. On reaching the light she found the child’s face black, her hands clenched, and her eyes protruding. As soon as she reached the light she heaved a sigh and resumed her usual appearance. This child was in general hardy and bold and never gave a second display of terror. This is certainly a curious observation, and it would be well to know whether similar cases of apparent fright at being carried in the dark have been noticed.
