[Footnote 242:  The paralysis of extreme fear seems to be a case of failure to accommodate when the equilibrium of attention is too violently disturbed. (See Mosso, La peur, p. 122.)]

[Footnote 245:  Without making any attempt to classify the emotions, we may notice that they arise out of conditions connected with both the nutritive and reproductive activities of life; and it is possible to say that such emotions as anger, fear, and guilt show a more plain genetic connection with the conflict aspect of the food-process, while modesty is connected rather with sexual life and the attendant bodily habits.]

[Footnote 246:  Groos, The Play of Animals, p. 285.  The utility of these antics is well explained by Professor Ziegler in a letter to Professor Groos:  “Among all animals a highly excited condition of the nervous system is necessary for the act of pairing, and consequently we find an exciting playful prelude is very generally indulged in” (Groos, loc. cit., p. 242); and Professor Groos thinks that the sexual hesitancy of the female is of advantage to the species, as preventing “too early and too frequent yielding to the sexual impulse” (loc. cit., p. 283).]

[Footnote 247:  Old women among the natural races often lose their modesty because it is no longer of any use.  Bonwick says that the Tasmanian women, though naked, were very modest, but that the old women were not so particular on this point. (Bonwick, The Daily Life of the Tasmanians, p. 58.)]
