To solve this problem, we need to solve an equation.  

Let's start by defining our variables.


Let X = smaller integer

Let X+1 = Larger integer.


So, the sum of the two integers is -67

So,

[tex]X+(X+1)=-67\\2x+1=-67\\2x=-68\\x=-34[/tex]


So, the smaller integer is -34, and the larger integer is -33
