In a German publication, Der sQatugforecher, 1 1th. Stueck. Meinecken states 
that the remains of the stone lily are found abundantly at the village of Erke- 
rode, in Brunswick, about two miles from the town bearing this name, near a 
wood called the Elm. The quarry is on the declivity of a hill overgrown with 
wood, on which account the inhabitants oppose the digging after them; the 
stratum containing them is hardly 15 to 18 inches in thickness. Under the 
surface of the earth, is a friable, porous, argilaceous limestone, containing mil- 
lions of columns, and columnar joints; but many hours digging is necessary 
before a good specimen of the superior part or stone lily can be procured, since 
the moisture in the stone contributes to their rapid destruction, and their occur- 
ing on large pieces of stone makes them liable to separation, which accounts 
for themany mended specimens, Ina publication Beptpaege suz Maturgesehichte
