And man has the left limbs detached more than any other 4 8 | dimensions, cannot possibly have limbs; for they cannot have more 5 8 | necessarily an even number of such limbs. For those which only jump 6 8 | place to place do not need limbs for this movement at least, 7 8 | able to progress with even limbs or cannot otherwise progress 8 8 | all every animal which has limbs must have an even us for 9 8 | of leaping, some of the limbs must in turn remain at rest, 10 8 | these cases with opposite limbs, shifting the weight from 11 8 | shifting the weight from the limbs that are being moved to 12 8 | nothing can walk on three limbs or on one; in the latter 13 8 | progress on an odd number of limbs, as may be seen by the experiment 14 8 | of wounding one of their limbs; for then the mutilation 15 8 | mutilation of one row of limbs is corrected by the number 16 8 | corrected by the number of limbs which remain on either side. 17 8 | missing and they had the limbs which correspond to one 18 9 | be bent. For the opposite limbs are naturally of equal length, 19 10| tail then must like other limbs be able to bend at the point 20 12| opposite way to a man’s limbs. For men bend their arms 21 12| changing position by the use of limbs, must have one leg stationary 22 13| biped or quadruped bends his limbs like the figures A or B, 23 13| too, the flexions of the limbs are always alternately opposite, 24 13| backwards.

But the hind limbs move criss-cross with the 27 14| criss-cross with the fore limbs; after the off fore they 28 14| For these reasons the fore limbs and the hind limbs move 29 14| fore limbs and the hind limbs move in this separate way. 30 14| be outside the supporting limbs and they would fall.

The explanation of this 35 16| is the hardness of their limbs, and the fact that they 36 16| However, the flexion of the limbs of all polypods is oblique, 37 17| is hard-skinned and its limbs are for swimming and not 38 17| Crabs, too, have their limbs bent obliquely, but not 39 17| polypods, because their limbs have a hard and shell-like 40 17| limb, because otherwise the limbs that were still would have 41 17| from the length of their limbs; instead of length she gives
