	Overview of Belizean History
		By digesting in hot alcohol, a peculiar substance termed ambrein is obtained, which deposits in brilliant white crystals as the solution cools.
		In chemical constitution ambrein very closely resembles cholesterin, a principle found abundantly in biliary calculi.
		It is therefore more than probable that ambergris, from the position in which it is found and its chemical constitution, is a biliary concretion analogous to what is formed in other mammals.

	Ambergris Pathfinder: Books and Monographs
		According to Gattefossé, ambergris is formed in the gut of the sperm whale in association with the cuttlefish, Elodone moschata, found in tropical seas.
		The cuttlefish has been found to contain ambrein, itself which suggests that ambrein may originate in the squid, or by bacterial action in the gut of the whale, but not as a metabolic product of the whale, itself, as is often reported.
		If an amber drop of molten ambrein, with its characteristic odor, appeared at the puncture site then the lump was, in fact, ambergris.
