Murie. J. On the nature of the sacs vomited by the Hornbills. P. Z. S. 
1874, pp. 420-425. 
The empty gizzard-sacs thrown up by Buceros suhcylindricus are 
figured, and illustrations of the microscopic structure of the same given 
in detail. These remarkable cast-up bags are proved to be no other than 
the horny layer or epithelial lining of the gizzard itself. Incredible 
though it may appear, fresh and successive stomach-linings must be 
rapidly developed, seeing that these ejecta (not semi-digested pellets, but 
sacs, enclosing uninjured fruit) are formed almost daily, and evidently 
intended to be wrappers for the safe transport of food to the young.
