But if the locomotory pads grip only on one side progress becomes impossible. When placed on the smooth wood of my table, the animal wriggles slowly; it lengthens and shortens without advancing by a hair’s-breadth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
