    1.  Comparative microscopic examination of the pink wool fiber from Exhibit E-33
    revealed same to be dissimilar to the fibers of Exhibits A through F, H, I, J
    and BB.

    2.  It should be noted that the fiber from Exhibit E-33 was similar in color to
    some of the wool fibers from Exhibit BB, however there were differences in other
    physical characteristics.  No fibers from Exhibit BB could be found that were
    completely consistent in all physical characteristics to the fiber of Exhibit E-33.
