 In a German publication, D0t JI3atU?f0?gt|)fr, 1 lth.g>tttfCfe. MEINECKEN states 

 that the remains of the stone lily are found abundantly at the village of Erke- 

 rode, in Brunswick, about two iniles 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. In a publication 35egt?aejje fUt JftcltUiSTSrlHCfrte
