BULITHUS, a stone found either in the gall-bladder, or in the kidneys and bladder, of an ox. See Bos.
BULK of a SHIP, the whole content in the hold for the stowage of goods.
BULK-Heads are partitions made athwart the ship with boards, by which one part is divided from the other; as the great cabin, gun-room, bread-room, and several other divisions. The bulk-head afore is the partition between the fore-castle and gratings in the head.
