The night of the gods; an inquiry into cosmic and cosmogonic mythology and symbolism . guewas of course the serpents. The Italians were nearer the truthwith their sagetta. Some believed them to be thunder-darts(pp. 436, 620). The Chelonite, Brontia, or Ombria, was called in Germany gros Krattenstein, formerly Donnerstein or Yetterstein. Theycalled that which fell with the thunder brontia, and that whichfell with tempest and rain without thunder ombria. For all thatthey are identical. Some are yellowish, others greenish, othersdark and dull, and of other colours. These stones are oftenhemispherical, and rarely longish. They are at times as big as anegg. Some have two circles like the nave which turns round theaxle of a wheel, with five raised spokes, as it were, equally divided, going out to the circumfer-ence. Pliny said the brontiawas like a tortoise-head.[This must be a mistake forthe hammer-head cerauniafigured above. I. ON.]. Intruth, to tell what I think, says Van Boot, I believe the serpents egg (ofwhich belov; isdistinguished from the brontia only by its exterior. form. His Footprint.^ Ceraunia, Broniia, and Ombria. 691 figures of the brontia (or ombria or chelonite) are here closelycopied ; and it is clear that they are nothing but fossil echino-dermata. They seem to resemble cidaris or pedina rotata. This seems to explode (and account for) a good deal of theconflicting and unintelligible statements one meets with about thebrontia and the ombria. The Serpents-egg, ofwhich I also give a carefulreproduction, must be rele-gated to the same category. But Van Boot said it wasclassified among the toad-stones. They were of a whiteblack (there can be no mistake about it: dvn blanc noir), very white inside and very hard outside, and seemed to have anaffinity with the brontia and ombria. His own opinion was thatthey were the petrified eggs of land tortoises. It just occurs to one to ask whether some of the decorations onthe whorls (see pp. 645, 646) may not have been m
