son tecuciztli, que son caracoles grandes mariscos; que son también los que llaman chipolli, y otros que llaman cilli, que son caracolitos pequenitos preciosos; tanbién las avaneras que tapachtli, y otros caracoles que llaman tecuciztli.
\nLos caracoles mariscos son blancos; unos son grandes; otros son pequeños. Todos ellos son enroscados. Son preciosos, y táñense como corneta o trompeta.
\nLos caracoles unos son colorados finos, otros colorados blanquecinos, otros morados.
\nDe las avaneras o conchas mariscas uno son amarillas claras, otras más amarillas.
\nLas conchas de ostras o hostias, donde se hace las perlas, por de fuera son toscas y de ninguna apariencia, y de color pardillo como hueso podrido. Pero de dentro son lisas, vedriadas, y muy lindas, como esmaltadas de todas colores, de color colorada y amarilla y azul, color de carmesí, y verde claro, y morado, y de todas otras colores, y parece al arco del cielo de diversas colores.
