•f*)Mufcum diffolved with Spirit of Nitre. Aldrovandus (a) hath one 
Metallic, figur'd like this 3 but by himfelf, or by Ambrofinus, call'd 
Stelechites Tyramidalh 3 very improperly. 
The CONICK STALACTITES , hollow. 'Tis three 
inches long 3 at the top, which is now open, * over 5 in the 
middle, near * 3 the bafe fpread out, with feveral round 
Crufts on one fide, like half bubbles , to the breadth of 
above an inch. On the oppofite fide, with a fhort fingle 
piped one. All of them contained together within the 
utmoft Cruft. Smooth and aih-colourd without, within 
.pure white. 
The Black BELEMNITES. The generick Name is from 
the fhape, like that of a Bolt-head. This Species is out- 
wardly of an alh-colour, but black within : and therefore 
by fome called Coraceas. Radiated as moft of them are, 
with tranfverfe Strict. And bored at the thick end, which 
is not fo ufual, with a Conic k hollow. Seethe Defcription 
of two or three forts in Boetius, Wormius, and others. 
The WHITE BELEMNITES. 'Tis Conic k as the for- 
mer 3 but the Rays not fo plain. Together with its white 
colour is joyn'd fome little tranfparency. 
The bigger YELLOW BELEMNITES. Particularly 
called Daily lus Idxus 3 for that it is in fhape and bignefs like 
a little Finger 3 and was firft, or is now chiefly, found upon 
Mount Ida. 'Tis folid, femiperfpicuous, and of the colour 
of yellow Amber. They have ufually a kind of notched 
Ridge all along one fide 3 but this hath two oppofite 
ones. 
ANOTHER, with a little Hollow fill'd up with a Pith 
of Earth. 
A CLUSTER of broken pieces of the Belemnites. 
The SHELL'D BELEMNITES. qu. Stalemnites. Opa- 
cous , and of the colour of grey Horn. Pointed at 
both ends, as the Belemnites is at one. And at one end, 
. fheweth fix or feven fhells one over another, as in the 
Stalactites above defcrib'd. From whence I have 
nana d it. 
Some of thefe being rub'd, take up Chaff or other light 
riOFoflii. Bodies, as Amber doth. Kentman (b) mentions one of an 
Nomend. ^fli-colour, which being rub'd, fmelt like a burnt Cows 
Horn. And a white one, which fmelt not much unlike to 
white
