REPOSE AND ACTION. 217 The movement of closing the mouth is a constant and significant sign, that of determination on or preparation for a struggle ; thus those with large and prominent chins are deemed obstinate and firm, and, on the contrary, those with small and retreating chins feeble and hesitating. There is a great deal of truth in this popular belief,
...whether it be because the chin is one of the progressive characters which distinguish man from the apes, or because obstinate and pertinacious people are frequently called on to close the mouth and push forward the chin.
We close the mouth before making an effort, and enlarge the thorax with a deep inspiration.
I do not think that this is done, as Gratiolet argues, to retard the circulation, but rather to give a solid point of support to certain muscles which are attached to them, and to amass a good provision of oxygen in view of the con- sumption of muscular energy which we are preparing to make.
