Part III. And Stoner li\e them. 273 
There's one which may be called an Entbrocbite, yet not 
a Stelechite , becaufe Oval, or at leaf! {mailer at both ends; 
no way refembling a Stick or Branch. But there is no 
example hereof in this Mufaum. 
The True STELECHITES, branched. ’Tis not only ra¬ 
diated,and furnifhed with a Pith: but is one fingle piece with¬ 
out anyjoyntsor joynted Wheels: in which refpecRit can¬ 
not be called ENTROCHVS 5 but very properly Stelechites , 
( from whence the Englijh word Stalk) as more anfwerable 
to the make of a flick or ftalk, than are any of the reft. ’Tis 
of an alh-colour, and curioufly wrought all over in the 
like manner as a Poppy-Seed. 
A Piece of a Rock confiding wholly of feveral Species 
of ENTROCHI or Stelentrochi, immerfed in a bed of their 
Mother-Clay. 
Another, with two or three fmall STELECHITES. 
A hard Stone of the colour of a Magnet , with the figna- 
turc of a TROCHITES. 
Thefc Stones being broken, look flaky, and with a glofs, 
as the Lapis Judaic us 3 but fomewhat more obfcure. They 
alfo make a like Effervefce’nce with Acids , efpecially with 
Spirit of Nitre. And may probably be as good a Diure- 
tick- That All Fojfiles of what figure foever make an 
Ebullition with Vinegar, is affirmed by Mr. Lyfter: (a) but Phil. Iranf. 
was a flip of his,otherwife 1110ft accurate Pen. For there are jV ' I00,i 
many, and thofc of feveral figures, which, although 
powder’d, yet are fo far from making any Ebullition with 
Vinegar , that neither Oil of Vitriol , nor Spirit of Nitre it 
felf, ( which taketh place fometimes where the former doth 
not) will ftir them: as appears in feveral Inftances in this 
Catalogue. 
They are found in as great variety here in England, as in 
any other Country. By Mr. Lyfter, in certain Scans in 
Braugbton and Stock, two little Villages in Craven : in fome 
places of the Rock a's hard as Marble. In fuch plenty, that 
there are whole Beds of Rock made of them. By Mr. Beau¬ 
mont, in Mundip-HiUs 5 in the Rocks, from the Grafs to 
twenty fathome: but moft in Beds of a grey and grifty 
Clay. In a Grotto, five and thirty fathome deep, he obferved 
their growth : which was, from the fineft, and the fofteft 
of the Clay. At firft, they were whitilh, foft, and fmooth.
