Annotation:"Under the same roof [as the Bodleian Library] on the ground floor is the Anatomy school; in which many other rarities are exhibited; a complete costume for a man and woman, as worn in Davis Straits. Arrows which are tipped with fish bones and sharp stones instead of iron. A great hair-ball found in a cow's stomach. Another, much rougher, taken from the stomach of a calf. A skeleton of a pigmy, with the teeth complete. A corn (Krahenauge), as long as one's little finger, cut out of a foot. A stuffed Moor, who died a heathen. A pelvis of a cow two ells in length, and many other things of the same sort" (Gunther, 256 quoting and translating from Benthem, 327).
