Sentences with APODES (4)
But a clergyman, of an inquisitive turn, assures me, that when he was a great boy, some workmen, in pulling down the battlements of a church tower early in the spring, found two or three swifts (_hirundines apodes_) among the rubbish, which were at first appearance dead, but on being carried towards the fire revived.
