" We are inclined to think these denticles are siliceous in compo- 

 sition, as they resist the action of the stronger mineral acids, as do 

 those of Eolis, which, although they possess the same hardness, 

 transparency and polish, are in some measure affected by hydro- 

 fluoric acid." — Hancock fy JEmbleton, Phil. Trans. 1852, 211.
