"taken out of the muscles of the neck of a bull in 1794. Such are frequently found in the stomachs of cows, oxen, calves, deer and other animals, are supposed to be occasioned by their licking off and swallowing the hair, and which, by the motion of the stomach, in these creatures being very strong and frequent, is wrought and firmly compacted together. "Although th[e] bundles of hair are sometimes found in the muscular parts of beef, I do not find it in any satisfactory manner accounted for. Information on the subject will be thankfully received at the Museum."
