Its fibers diverge like the barbs of a quill-pen ; the most posterior form a thin layer, which is lost on the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm ; the middle fibers encircle the bulb and adjacent parts, of the corpus cavernosum urethræ, and join with the fibers of the opposite side, on the upper part of the corpus cavernosum urethræ, in a strong aponeurosis ; the anterior fibers, spread out over the side of the corpus cavernosum penis, to be inserted partly into that body, anterior to the Ischiocavernosus, occasionally extending to the pubis, and partly ending in a tendinous expansion which covers the dorsal vessels of the penis.

Its body is covered by a thin layer of skin, which contains very little of the pigment riboflavin, making it yellowish-white or pink in color.

Its call is a high, thin swee swee swee.

Its red ,( laterite ) dense clayey soils retain water well, which limits their agricultural potential for many crops but is ideal for keeping the water in the paddy fields and local village reservoirs.

Its value lies in its ability to give good yields on poor soils, and its resistance to fungal diseases such as stem rust that are prevalent in wet areas.

Its history is rooted in its waterways and its large expanse of fertile soils ideal for farming.

Its " bottomland " and rich marsh soils are the source of the name " Black Bottom ".

Its geographic position and fertile soils permitted rapid economic development.

Its preferred habitats are natural areas, disturbed sites, roadsides, fields, and especially sites with fertile soils, agricultural areas, range / grasslands, riparian zones, scrub / shrublands valleys and plains along with water courses.

Its elevation, poor soils, isolation from major transport routes and rainfall of over 34 inches a year limited farm production, but the presence of coal, iron and sandstone, the development of turnpike roads and the coming of the railways enabled Thornton to share in the prosperity generated by the 19th century wool worsted trade.

Its habitat includes rich, acid soils in cool, moist coniferous and mixed hardwood forests, bog and stream edges, and hillsides.

This is a shrub, reaching 0. 75 m by 0. 75 m. Its English name comes from the fact that, in Great Britain, it is only found on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, where the unusual geology gives rise to the alkaline soils that it favours.

Its condition of savanna is not due to climate ( which is enough rain to support a forest vegetation ), but the formation of rocky and sandy soils, although parts of the jungle can be seen in some depressions and, above all, forests gallery along the rivers.

Its soils consist of deep waterlogged peaty loam above Triassic mudstones, with Cretaceous Greensand on the valley sides above.

Its preferred growing conditions are in part sun to mostly shade and deep, moist loamy soils.

Its occurrence and size are confirmed by evidence of a dramatic drop in the elevation of Northwest coastal land, recorded by buried marsh and forest soils that underlie tidal sediment, the deposition of a layer of tsunami sand on the subsided landscape, the death or injury of affected trees ( see dendrochronology ), and descriptions of the earthquake and tsunami in regional Amerindian legends.

Its radar screens would register Soviet missiles shortly after they are launched against the United States.

Its ontological status is itself most tenuous because apart from individual men, who are its `` matter '', tradition, the `` form '' of society exists only as a shared perception of truth.

Its massive contours are rooted in the simple need of man, since he is always incomplete, to complete himself.

Its elimination would result in the saving of interest costs, heavy when short-term money rates are high, and in freedom from dependence on credit which is not always available when needed most.

Its figures are a half inch high and very easy to read, even into tenth gallons.

Its clarity and good optical properties are other important factors.

Its findings are reported each year in its Rapport Sur l'activite Pendant annee ( Bruxelles ).

Its folklore and legend, usually disguised as history, are allowed to account for group actions, to provide a focal point for group loyalty, and to become a cohesive force for national identification.

Its people are agreeable friends.

Its contents are another matter, for they reveal the kinds of interests pursued by the congregation.

Its size is determined by its function as a glycogen and fat storage unit, and may change with the seasons as these reserves are built or used up.

Its eggs are laid on the forest floor and when they hatch, the tadpoles are carried one by one on the back of an adult to a suitable water-filled crevice such as the axil of a leaf or the rosette of a bromeliad.

Its other main uses are for bituminous waterproofing products, including production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs.

Its primary symbols are only 4: the directed arrow showing program flow, the rectangle ( SEQUENCE, GOTO ), the diamond ( IF-THEN-ELSE ), and the dot ( OR-tie ).

Its most common isotopes are < sup > 241 </ sup > Am and < sup > 243 </ sup > Am.

Its chemical and physical properties are so similar to that of natural amethyst that it can not be differentiated with absolute certainty without advanced gemnological testing ( which is often cost-prohibitive ).

Its chemical composition makes it difficult to match the amber to its producers – it is most similar to the resins produced by flowering plants ; however, there are no flowering plant fossils until the Cretaceous, and they were not common until the Upper Cretaceous.

# Its seeds are a good source of protein.

Its ancient cult of Aphrodite was the most important, after Paphos, in Cyprus, her homeland, though the ruins of Amathus are less well-preserved than neighboring Kourion.

Its functions are thought to include tasks such as lipid and heme biosynthesis, and it appears to be necessary for survival.

Its preparation involves digging a hole about 150 cm deep in the ground, within which incandescent stones are placed inside a bonfire.

Its partners for movement towards a solid object and for being next to that solid object are the allative case and the adessive case respectively.

Its partners that correspond to movement away from, or out of, something are the delative case ( for movement from a surface or from a Hungarian city ) and the elative case ( for movement out of a container or from out of an international city ).
