Today's Daf Yomi, Bava Batra 70, begins with the case where a seller of land explicitly excluded a particular carob or sycamore (trees which would normally be excluded anyway) from the transaction. There's also a discussion of the applicability of the principle of 'migu', where a party is to be believed if he has a more advantageous claim available - for example, if a person who borrowed an item tells the owner "I already gave it back" when he could claim the item became lost through unavoidable circumstances.
