Of Regular Stoner. Part III. 
. r diflolved with Spirit of Nitre. Aldrovandws ( a ) hath one 
Metallic™ figur’d like this; but by himfelf, or by Ambrofnus , call’d 
Stelecbites Pyramidal'n ; very improperly. 
The CONICK STALACTITES, hollow. ’Tis three 
inches long 5 at the top, which is now open, •> over 5 in the 
middle, near 15 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 ihort fingle 
piped one. All of them contained together within the 
utmoft Cruft. Smooth and aih-colour’d 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 afh-colour, but black within: and therefore 
by fome called Coraceas. Radiated as moft of them are, 
with tranfverfe Striae. And bored at the thick end, which 
is not fo ufual, with a Conicft hollow. See the Defcription 
of two or three forts in Boetiius, Wormius , and others. 
The WHITE BELEMNITES. ’Tis Conick as the for¬ 
mer; but the Rays not fo plain. Together with its white 
colour is joyn’d fome little tranfparency. 
The bigger YELLOW BELEMNITES. Particularly 
called Dactylics Ida-us ; for that it is in Ihape and bignefs like 
a little Finger; and was firlt, 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; 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 ihells one over another, as in the 
StalaHites above defenb’d. From whence I have 
nam’d it. 
Some of thefe being rub’d, take up Chaff or other light 
(M Foffil. Bodies, as Amber doth. Kentman (b) mentions one of an 
Nomenci. ^fa-colour, which being rub’d, fmelt like a burnt Cows 
Horn. And a white one, which fmelt not much unlike to 
white
