a. Intestinal concretion. (Oriental Bezoar.) 



Note. This specimen consists of two bezoars, one of which is nearly 

 cylindrical, rounded at the ends, 2 inches long, and an inch in diameter ; 

 the other is kidney-shaped, If inch long, and 1J inch in diameter. 

 Both have a polished surface, a dark-greenish colour, and laminated 

 structure. Both specimens give a green mark to chalked paper, by 

 which character oriental bezoars are distinguished. Oriental bezoars 

 are taken from the alimentary canal of a wild goat called Pasen by the 

 Persians, which inhabits Chorasan, and is also produced, according 

 to Koempfer, by an ape called Antar by the Mongols. For further 

 details, see Phil. Trans., 1846, p. 41 ; Watts, Diet. Chem., vol. i., p. 584.
