We are going, in the first place, to examine if the _subject_ presents on all parts of the body, and especially on the breast, this miliary eruption, so symptomatic, according to Huxman: and you will assure yourselves, by feeling the subject, of the kind of rugosity this eruption causes. ❋ Eug��ne Sue (1830)
In addition, there is the noun "rugosity," which can refer to either the quality or state of being full of wrinkles or an individual wrinkled place. ❋ Unknown (2009)
My eyes scoured the blank rock for the tiniest rugosity onto which I could plant a foot. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Now I have to get one to avoid hand rugosity explanations… : ❋ Unknown (2006)
Kutter's alone seemed to be of general applicability; when the surface slope measurement is good, and the rugosity coefficient known for the site -- both doubtful matters -- it would probably give results within 7½ per cent. of error. ❋ Various (N/A)
To those who receive such presents from the East, I may just say that this and such like materials gradually undergo a change which gives them on the surface a dull and dead appearance; but they may easily be restored to their original beauty if the surface be rubbed with a clean cloth or silk handkerchief, so as to polish the little rugosity or roughness: this will restore the beauty of the colors. ❋ Unknown (1909)
I have noticed that the jays get careless as to the size or accessibility of the hole they drop provisions into -- indeed they will place them sometimes in little more than a rugosity or wrinkle of the bark. ❋ Morley Roberts (1899)
Yet, when one might have expected to find hands of a talon-like knottiness, to correspond with the sparse rugosity of his person, one found to one's astonishment the most delicately shaped hands in the world, with long, sensitive, nervous fingers, like those of the thousands of artists who have lived and died without being able to express themselves in any artistic medium. ❋ William John Locke (1896)
It is very abundant, but so exactly does it resemble the bark in colour and rugosity, and so closely does it cling to the branches, that until it moves it is absolutely invisible! ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
Some of these are a foot long and as thick as one's finger, and their whole colouring, form, rugosity, and the arrangement of the head, legs, and antennæ, are such as to render them absolutely identical in appearance with dead sticks. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
It means rapid global folding-rugosity almost all oceans 'platforms. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In many cases the wings of an insect not only assume the exact tint of the bark or leaf it is accustomed to rest on, but the form and veining of the leaf or the exact rugosity of the bark is imitated; and these detailed modifications cannot be reasonably imputed to climate or to food, since in many cases the species does not feed on the substance it resembles, and when it does, no reasonable connexion can be shown to exist between the supposed cause and the effect produced. ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
a rugosity on the surface or as breaking the middle of a line. ❋ Havelock Ellis (1899)
Of these latter insects Mr. Wallace says: [27] "Some of these are a foot long and as thick as one's finger, and their whole colouring, form, rugosity, and the arrangement of the head, legs, and antennæ, are such as to render them absolutely identical in appearance with dry sticks. ❋ St. George Mivart (N/A)
"Man," Phineas once replied, "don't you see that you're breaking a heart which, in spite of its apparent rugosity and callosity, is as tender as a new-made mother's? ❋ William John Locke (1896)
I look for rugosities [on the rock] face to [smear] on to when I am [rock climbing]. ❋ Kelebrinlith (2010)
