Clearly only two pairs of rugosities were so preserved and developed, and all limbs (on this view) are descendants of the same two pairs, as all have so similar a fundamental structure. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)
If the above suggestion made in opposition to the views here asserted be true, then the general constancy of position of the limbs of vertebrata may be considered as due to the position assumed by the primitive rugosities from which those limbs were generated. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)
The idea that mountain folds, and the lesser rugosities of the Earth's surface, arose in a wrinkling of the crust under the influence of cooling and skrinkage of the subcrustal materials, is held by many eminent geologists, but not without dissent from others. ❋ John Joly (1895)
A man who is entrusted with the task of writing the life of a great man who was also his friend need not adopt the language of continuous panegyric, but to throw a brilliant illumination upon the man's smaller domestic rugosities which even the weakest charity would conceal and the feeblest generosity would forget is a singularly spiteful betrayal. ❋ Stephen Coleridge (1895)
In this experiment, too, the glass possesses by far the smoother surface although I have rubbed the deeper rugosities out of the ice by smoothing it with a glass surface. ❋ John Joly (1895)
There were to be no shadows in the picture, no stains or rugosities on the smooth bust of rosy wax. ❋ Edmund Gosse (1888)
He succeeded in rubbing forcibly and rapidly this sleeve against the rugosities of the iron. ❋ Unknown (1887)
These facts, supported by the variation in the color of the pileus in the two species and the variations in the rugosities of the pileus, seem to indicate that the two species are very closely related. ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)
Then it was that I discovered that Arles has no general physiognomy, and, except the delightful little church of Saint Trophimus, no architecture, and that the rugosities of its dirty lanes affect the feet like knife - blades. ❋ Various (1885)
Then it was that I discovered that Arles has no general physiognomy and, except the delightful little church of Saint Trophimus, no architecture, and that the rugosities of its dirty lanes affect the feet like knife-blades. ❋ Henry James (1879)
It crooks its back and twists its arms and clinches its hundred fists with the queerest extravagance, and wrinkles its bark into strange rugosities from which its first scattered sprouts of yellow green seem to break out like a morbid fungus. ❋ Henry James (1879)
To the right a bank of dun cloud began to burn crimson, and to burn brighter till it was like a low hill-side full of gorgeous rugosities fleeced with a dense dwarfish growth of autumnal shrubs. ❋ William Dean Howells (1878)
The rugosities of the stony pasture land end in a wooded point seaward, and curve east and north in a succession of beaches. ❋ William Dean Howells (1878)
But this scholarly and measured speech has impressed itself on the poetry of our time -- insomuch, that the Tennysonian cycle of minor poets has a higher standard of grace, precision, and subtlety of phrase than the second rank of any modern literature: -- a standard which puts to shame the rugosities of strong men like Dryden, Burns, and Byron. ❋ Frederic Harrison (1877)
"There you are," cried Peter, as he passed a couple of the bananas he held ready, and the moment these had been grasped and the trunk lowered again, "Now then, up with you!" cried the lad; and planting a foot upon one of the corrugations of the wrinkling trunk, Archie began to scramble up, passing over the animal's forehead, up between the extended ears and over the rugosities between head and neck. ❋ George Manville Fenn (1870)
The paler brown skin, following the rugosities of the nut, is the true sack or skin of the seed. ❋ John Ruskin (1859)
Page 221 of the young tooth (Fig. 39) is very rough, and the edges of the rugosities are realy, irregularly serrate, and run into each other. ❋ Unknown (1858)
