"The Problem of Pain," here.
I asked here whether we are told how Ythrians sleep. I had already answered the question in How Aliens Sleep. However, to go through it again -
On board a ship in a storm:
"The Ythrian female locked hands and wing-claws around the net-covered framework wherein she had slept..." (p. 34)
On land:
"The Ythrians were quickly asleep, squatted on their locked wing joints..." (p. 40)
The story introduces important Avalonian details:
the largest continent (Corona);
a gulf (Falkayn Bay);
an archipelago (Oronesia);
hell shrubs;
surgeon trees;
atlantis weed;
the feasibility of joint colonization.

Kaor, Paul!
Altho not mentioned, I assume Yhtrians put or fasten blankets around themselves to stay warm while sleeping.
SURGEON trees??? Now that sounds odd!
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
Remember: it cuts an Ythrian's wing off.

Kaor, Paul!
Aha, now I remember! A tree with SHARP limbs.
Ad astra! Sean
