There is an allied species, having a bare carunculated head, which has been called Paradigalla carunculata. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Its head terminated in a species of funnel lined with carunculated ridges; inside gleamed row upon row of sharp triangular teeth. ❋ May, Julian, 1931- (1981)
Some six inches long, they looked exactly like overgrown sausages made out of thick, brown, carunculated leather; dim, primitive beasts that just lie in one spot, rolling gently with the sea's swing, sucking in sea-water at one end of their bodies and passing it out at the other. ❋ Durrell, Gerald, 1925- (1956)
They were greyish-green, heavily carunculated, and with curious white patches here and there on their bodies where the skin was shiny and lacking in pigment. ❋ Durrell, Gerald, 1925- (1956)
She was like a woman made of fungus -- not of that smooth, putty-like, fleshy fungus which grows in dank places, but of the rough, rugged, brown, carunculated sort which rises upon old stumps of trees and dry-rot gate-posts. ❋ Various (N/A)
The carrier, more especially the male bird, is also remarkable from the wonderful development of the carunculated skin about the head; and this is accompanied by greatly elongated eyelids, very large external orifices to the nostrils, and a wide gape of mouth. ❋ Unknown (1909)
-- These are large, long-necked birds, with a long pointed beak, and the eyes surrounded with a naked carunculated skin or wattle, which is also largely developed at the base of the beak. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
They have also a naked carunculated skin round the eyes, and the skin over the nostrils swollen. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
The carrier, more especially the male bird, is also remarkable from the wonderful development of the carunculated skin about the head, and this is accompanied by greatly elongated eyelids, very large external orifices to the nostrils, and a wide gape of mouth. ❋ Charles Darwin (1859)
The skin over the nostrils swollen, not wattled; naked skin round the eyes, broad, slightly carunculated. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
The skin over the nostrils is swollen, but not carunculated; the naked skin round the eyes is not very wide, and only slightly carunculated; and I have seen a fine so-called Spanish Runt with hardly any naked skin round the eyes. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
The skin over the nostrils is rather full and very slightly carunculated, and they have some naked skin round the eyes: feet large. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
(Indische-Taube: Pigeons Polonais.) _Beak short, broad, deep; naked skin round the eyes, broad and carunculated; skin over nostrils slightly swollen. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
(Türkische Taube: Pigeons Turcs: Dragons.) _Beak elongated, narrow, pointed; eyes surrounded by much naked, generally carunculated skin; neck and body elongated. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
This group may, as a general rule, be recognised by the beak being long, with the skin over the nostrils swollen and often carunculated or wattled, and with that round the eyes bare and likewise carunculated. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
The development of the carunculated skin or wattle round the eyes, over the nostrils, and on the lower mandible, is prodigious. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
Bussorah, which sometimes has a beak not at all longer than that of the rock-pigeon and with the naked skin round the eyes and over the nostrils very slightly swollen and carunculated, through the Bagdad sub-race and Dragons, to our improved English Carriers, which present so marvellous a difference from the rock-pigeon or _Columba livia_. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
The skin over the nostrils is swollen, but not carunculated, except slightly in first-rate birds when old; whilst the naked skin round the eye is broad and much carunculated. ❋ Charles Darwin (1845)
