high. The drawings of full-grown women always have the teats 

 delineated, whether in paintings or carvings. 



Fiate IX., Fig. 12 is on the same rock as Fig. 10 and 11, 

 and, I think there can be no doubt that it represents the 

 native dog. It is thi-ee feet six inches long, and stands about 

 1 foot 8 inches high. 



Plate IX., Fig. 13 is an average specimen of the kangaroos 

 carved on rocks, both as regards size and style of work. This 

 figure is on a large flat rock sloping slightly northei'ly, near the 

 southern boundary of Portion No. 717, Parish of Manly Cove, 

 County of Cumberland. 



Plate IX., Fig. 14. — This group is on a flat rock about 

 twenty-eight yards south-westerly from Fig. 8. It includes 

 an emu about seven feet nine inches from the point of its bill to 

 the end of its tail, and about live feet three inclies high. Only 

 one leg is drawn, and the foot is a straight continuation of the 

 leg, a mode of drawing I have before found in native figures of 

 emus. There are two human figures, with their heads in con- 

 trary directions; they both have belts round the waist and bands 

 i-ound their ankles. The latter are unusual, and have nut been 

 seen by me in other carvings. Sir George Grey, in iiis Ttvo 

 P,xpeditions in N. IV. and W. Australia, II., p. 250, says that 

 strings made of the fur of the opossum were tied like bracelets 

 round the wrists and ankles. The feet of the smaller figure are 

 turned inwards, which is the only case where I have observed this 

 — the toes usually pointing outw^ards, as in the other figures shown 

 on the Plate ; a representation of hair is also shown on the head, 

 as in Fig. 8. The larger figure has what appears to be intended 

 for a spear or club in his hand, only a small part of the weapon 

 being shown. It will be observed that the line which forms 

 the head of the larger human figure, also serves to mark 

 out the tail of the emu. There is an oval-shaped hollow in the 

 rock (see Fig.) which was, I think, naturally there, in which water 

 lies during the winter, and after rain in the summer, so that if 

 the lines of the figures were originally continued through this 

 hollow, they have long since wasted away. I have shown by 

 dotted lines where it is probable grooves formerly existed. 



Plate IX., Fig. 15. — This carving of a gigantic fish is found 

 upon a large flat sandstone rock, on Portion, No. 83, of 320 acres,
