    Description of the bun in absurdly technical language. For example, reports that 'naturalists having occasionally [...] observed a sort of ossification resembling a currant upon the surface of the bun, were led to undertake a mining speculation, for the discovery of any of these curiosities which might by chance be concealed in the bowels'. Adds that the mathematical shapes described by the outer surface of the bun would puzzle Euclid.
