Cochlita

(From a snail's shell). It is also called cochlea fossilis or lapidea, and is a stone of the shape and figure of a certain shell snail; said to be lithontriptic.

Cochone

(From to turn round). Galen gives this appellation to the juncture of the ischium, near the seat or breach; whence, says he, all the adjacent parts about the seat are called by the same name. Hippocrates often mentions these parts. Hesychius says, that cochone is the part of the spine adjacent to the os sacrum and breech, and tells us that some call the parts on both sides of the os sacrum by this name; and adds, that the ischia are sometimes thus called.
