Fig. 1.— Petroglyphs at Oafcley Springs, Arizona. 



Mr. Gilbert obtained sketches of etchings in November, 1878, on 

 Partridge Creek, northern Arizona, at the point where the Beale wagon 

 road comes to it from the east. "The rock is cross laminated Aubrey 

 sandstone and the surfaces used are faces of the lamina?. All the work 

 is done by blows with a sharp point. (Obsidian is abundant in the 

 vicinity.) Some inscriptions are so fresh as to indicate that the locality 

 is still resorted to. No Indians live in the immediate vicinity, but the 

 region is a hunting ground of the Wallapais and Avasupais (Cosninos)." 



Notwithstanding the occasional visits of the above named tribes, the 

 characters submitted more nearly resemble those of other localities 

 known to have been made by the Mold Pueblos. 



Pock etchings are of frequent occurrence along the entire extent of 

 the valley of the Eio Verde, from a short distance below Camp Verde 

 to the Gila River. 



Mr. Thomas V. Keam reports etchings on the rocks in Canon Segy, 

 and in Ream's Canon, northeastern Arizona. Some forms occurring at 

 the latter locality are found also upon Moki pottery.
