Note 403 — Chapter II · (continued 4)
Walter Armstrong translation
As to the notions attached to these cones, whether sprinkled about the foundations of a building, set up in certain sanctuaries, or carried upon the person, an article published by M. Ledrain, à propos of an agate cone recently added to the collections of the Louvre, may be read with advantage. Its full title is Une Page de Mythologie sémitique (la Philosophie positive, Revue, 14th year, 1882, pp. 209-213).
