inches in diameter, and the length of its rays about 2^ inches. One of 

 the rays connects with a similar but smaller figure. 



Fig 9 is also a double figure ; the first character is like Fig. 8, but 

 larger and has one ray less. The body of this figure measures 7^ inches 



& 



in diameter, and the length of the rays from 2 to 3 inches. The second 

 character represents some reptile, as the tortoise, and measures from 

 head to tip of tail 13 inches. The bodies of these figures, like Fig. S, 

 are cut to the depth of one-fourth to one-half inch. 



Fig. 10 is another double object and might have been intended by the 

 unskillful sculptor to represent a lizard with its prey or young. The 

 smaller figure is reversed. The larger figure, from head to tip of tail, 

 measures 15 inches; the smaller one, 7 inches. 



To the right of the characters represented in Fig. 10 are two charac-

ters. Figs. 11 and 12, w^hich are somewhat confused, and were difBcult 

 to trace, as they are surrounded by a multitude of indistinct lines and 

 cuts. The sculptor had perhaps spoiled his figure and tried to obliter- 

 ate it. 



Fig. 13 are small irregular depressions in the wall of the cavern, to 

 the right of the character represented by Fig. 14. 



Fig. 14 is another reptile, with a peculiar swell on the neck and an 

 elongated head. The length of this figure, from head to tip of tail, is 

 19J inches.
