many of the figures bears strong resemblance to similar carvings found 

 in the eastern portion of the United States, in regions known to have 

 been occupied by other tribes of the same linguistic stock, viz., the A 1 

 gonkian. 



The four specimens of Algonkian petroglyphs presented above in 

 Figures 147-150 show gradations in type. In connection with them 

 reference may be made to the Ojibwa bark record, Figure 139, page 218; 

 the Ojibwa grave posts, Plate LXXXIII; the Ottawa pipe-stem, Fig- 

 ure 120, page 204, in this paper; and to Schoolcraft's numerous Ojibwa 

 pictographs; and they may be contrasted with the many Dakota and 

 Inuuit drawings in this paper.

 ors to the locality. 



Five miles northwest from this locality, and one-half mile east from 

 Marsh Creek, is another group of characters, on basalt bowlders, appar- 

 ently totemic, and by Shoshoni. A copy of these, also contributed by 

 Mr. Gilbert, is given in Figure 152. 



All of these drawings resemble the petroglyphs found at Partridge 

 Creek, northern Arizona, and in Temple Creek Cafiou, southeastern 

 Utah, mentioned ante, pages 30 aud 2G respectively.
