County, Pennsylvania. This rock is about 390 feet above the level of 

 Monongahela River, and belongs to the Waynesburg stratum of sand- 

 stone. It is detached, and rests somewhat below its true horizon. It 

 is about 6 feet iu thickness, and has vertical sides; only two figures are 

 carved on the sides, the inscriptions being on the top, and are now con- 

 siderably worn. Mr. Wall mentions the outlines of animals and some 

 other figures, formed by grooves or channels cut from an inch to a mere 

 trace in depth. No indications of tool marks were discovered. It is 

 presented below as Figure 147, page 224. 



The resemblance between this record and the drawings on Dighton 

 Rock is to be noted, as well as that between both of them and some in 

 Ohio. 



Mr. J. Sutton Wall also contributes a group of etchings on what is 

 known as the "Geneva Picture Rock," in the Monongahela Valley, near 

 Geneva. These are foot-prints and other characters similar to those 

 mentioned from Hamilton Farm, West Virginia, which are shown in 

 Figure 148, page 225. 



Schoolcraft (Vol. IV, pp. 172, 173, Pll. 17, 18), describes also, present- 

 ing plates, a pictograph on the Allegheny River as follows: 



One of the most often noticed of these inscriptions exists on the left bank of this 

 river [the Allegheny], about six miles below Franklin (the ancient Venango), Penn- 

 sylvania. It is a prominent point of rocks, around which tin- river deflects, rendering 

 this point a very conspicuous object. * The rock, which has been lodged here in some 

 geological convulsion, is a species of hard standstone, about, twenty-two feet in length 

 by fourteen in breadth. It has an inclination to the horizon of about fifty degrees. 

 During freshets it is nearly overflown. The inscription is made upon the inclined 

 lace of the rock. The present inhabitants in the couutry call it the 'Indian God.' 

 It is only iu low stages of water that it can be examiued. Captain Eastman has suc- 

 ceeded, by wading into the water, in making a perfect copy of this ancient record, 

 rejecting from its borders the interpolations of modern names put there by boatmen, 

 towliom it is known as a point of landing. The inscription itself appears distinctly to 

 record, in symbols, the triumphs in hunting and war. 



ROCK CARVINGS IN OHIO. 



In the Final Report of the Ohio State Board of Centennial Managers, 

 Columbus, 1877, many localities showing rock carvings are noted. The 

 most important (besides those mentioned below) are as follows : Newark, 

 Licking County, where human hands, many varieties of bird tracks, aud 

 a cross are noticed. Independence, Cuyahoga County, showing human 

 hands aud feet and serpents. Amherst, Lorain County, presenting 

 similar objects. Wellsville, Columbiana County, where the characters 

 are more elaborate aud varied. 



Mr. James W. Ward describes in the Journal of the Anthropological 

 Institute of New York, Vol. I, 1871-'72, pp. 57-64, Figs. 14-22, some 

 sculptured rocks. They are reported as occurring near Barnesville, Bel- 

 mont County, and consist chiefly of the tracks of birds and animals. 

 Serpentine forms also occur, together with concentric rings. The an-
