Gazophtlacio pexes Joannem Hierontmum Zannicuelli Ye- 
KETiis. Index Primus quo Fossilia figura receusentur. — Venetiis, 
1726." 
"206. Ovum gallinaceum in saxo durissimo inveutum ex Agro Romano." 
The next work we meet with is tlie ' Magnalia Dei ' by Bruck-* 
mann* (1730). Two figures, which he engraves, are the same as 
Hermann's in our Plate XXII. Pig. 3. and Wolfart's in our Plate 
XXIII. Pig. 3. A third figure of Bruckmann seems to be an en- 
graved seal. His i*eference runs thus : — 
"DiETz, eine GrafFschaff"t, hat Eisen-G-rubenund schonen Marmor, und 
schreibt Petrus TVolfart in seinem Vale Hanovies et Salve Cassellse dicto, 
etc., von diesem Marmor zu Dietz, p. 24, also : Minime vero Marmoribus-" 
etc. etc. — Bruckmann, ' Magnalia Dei in Locis Subterraneis,' ii. p. 107. 
[Dietz, a county, has iron-mines and beautiful marble ; Petrus Wol- 
fart. in his ' Vale Hanovise et Salve Cassellai,' etc., in speaking about the 
marble of Dietz, says, p. 24 : Minime vero Marmorihus," etc. etc.] 
Betzius, * Historia Naturaiis Dendritse Lapidumque Cognatorum,' 
I731,t is the next work we quote from. He says : — 
" To conclude, we present here a list of the dendritic and other similar 
stones conserved in our stone-colleetiou of Lund, and which can throw 
some additional light on our work ; the following are the most interesting 
among them : — 20 (p. 109). A flint stone or a common pyrites, representing 
a figure of a small bird, perhaps the Geranites of Pliny, Croppensis, 
plate iii. fig. 5." 
(See our Plate XXIV. Fig. 7.) 
The original passage runs : — 
" § XIII. Coronidis loco subnectam jam indicem eorum dendritatum 
cognatorumque lapidum in lithophylacio nostro Lundensi asservatorum, 
qui huic nostra lucubrationi aliquam lucem foenerare posse videutur ; sunt 
autera eorundem specimina qu£e sequuntur, praicipua. 
"20 (p. 109). Silex seu pyromachus vulgaris aviculse figura insignitus, 
forte Geranites Plinii, Croppensis, tab. iii, fig. 5."
