Assuming the blubber to be the skin of the whale; then, when this skin, as in the case of a very large Sperm Whale, will yield the bulk of one hundred barrels of oil; and, when it is considered that, in quantity, or rather weight, that oil, in its expressed state, is only three fourths, and not the entire substance of the coat; some idea may hence be had of the enormousness of that animated mass, a mere part of whose mere
integument yields such a lake of liquid as that.
At first, I say, the handling-machine did not impress me as a machine, but as a crablike creature with a glittering
integument, the controlling Martian whose delicate tentacles actuated its movements seeming to be simply the equivalent of the crab's cerebral portion.
As that gentleman happened at the moment to be staring me squarely in the face as I stood by the roadside it was not altogether clear whether he was addressing me or his beasts; nor could I say if they were named Fuddy and Duddy and were both subjects of the imperative verb "to gee-up." Anyhow the command produced no effect on us, and the queer little man removed his eyes from mine long enough to spear Fuddy and Duddy alternately with a long pole, remarking, quietly but with feeling: "Dern your skin," as if they enjoyed that
integument in common.
One morning the few lonely trees and the thorns of the hedgerows appeared as if they had put off a vegetable for an animal
integument. Every twig was covered with a white nap as of fur grown from the rind during the night, giving it four times its usual stoutness; the whole bush or tree forming a staring sketch in white lines on the mournful gray of the sky and horizon.
Our outside and often thin and fanciful clothes are our epidermis, or false skin, which partakes not of our life, and may be stripped off here and there without fatal injury; our thicker garments, constantly worn, are our cellular
integument, or cortex; but our shirts are our liber, or true bark, which cannot be removed without girdling and so destroying the man.
Clare had been deaf to her violence, insensible to her caresses, blind to her tears; but under the tough
integument of his philosophy he had a heart -and it answered that hopeless appeal; it felt those touching words.
But humanity has triumphed over clothes; the look, the touch of a dress has become alive; and the woman who stitched herself into these material
integuments has now permeated right through and gone out to the tip of her skirt.
Charity and the rest of them seemed to take a delight in putting impossible buttons and ties in the middle of his back; but he would have gone without nether
integuments altogether, sooner than have had recourse to female valeting.
The information they provide is as varied as the taxa, but they tend to include morphology,
integument, the functional systems, reproduction, and ecology.
As to the chemical composition of the seeds, for crude protein were analyzed full seeds with no
integument. For the quantification of ash, insoluble fiber in neuter detergent (NDF), insoluble fiber in acid detergent (ADF) and organic matter, were utilized seeds without
integument in order to quantify the constituent components of the seeds consumed by the C.
Generally conidial attachment occurs on
integument's surface of insect where it grows and diffuses into the
integument.
Furthermore, the seed is unlike Chloranthaceae but like Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales in having a palisade exotesta (lignified layer derived from the outer epidermis of the outer
integument), although it has an inner seed coat layer interpreted as a fibrous exotegmen (from the outer epidermis of the inner
integument), as in Ascarina.
