Fig. 206.—Dbstkuctivenesb Small. 166 THE JAWS AND TEETH, in man indicates Destructiveness, and gives an air of savage*ness and ferocity. The action of the muscle (Levator angulioris, fig. 169, D) which raises the angle of the mouth and ex-poses the canine teeth, is a sign of malignant rage, as shownin Fig. 207.
