sample: V. SAXUM FISSILE, seu Crustosum (quòd in crustas sindatur, stratis ac tectis utile) Slate or Tyle-stone. Cujus non una est differentia. Apud nos tantæ amplitudinis reperiuntur, ut mensas ex eis integras fabricent, aliáque tabulas deletiles. Cæteris verò præfertur Islebianum, quod nigrum est, & in comìtatu Mansfeldiæ Islebiæ effoditur. Horsum haud incongrue retuleris Lapidem Fissilem Hibernicum, Irish Slate nominatum. ("Fossilia," p. 242).
