All fruit and forest trees suffer from these curious insects, which in the female sex always remain apterous and apodal and live attached to the bark, leaf and fruit, hidden beneath variously formed scale-like coverings.

Though the larvæ of bees are apodal, they are not condemned to absolute immobility in their cells; for they can move by a spiral motion.

Obviously the mystical "security," the "apodal sufficiency" yielded by the anaesthetic revelation, are very different moods of mind from aught that rationalism can claim to father—more active, prouder, more heroic.

I tell you all this because I don't want to pose as a kind of apodal angel of mercy.
