This consists of disintegrated woven fabric (probably linen)
impregnated and covered with minute crystals of common salt.
There is no evidence of resin.
No. 317 B 2. (Abdomen)
Practically identical with the material from the cranial cavity.
The white crystals are common salt. There is no evidence of
resin.
No. 317 B 2 (Material covering incision in abdomen)

It gives very definite positive tests for nitrogenous organic
