SHOSHONIAN PETKOGLYPHS

Mr. I. C. Russell, of the United States Geological Survey, has fur- 

 nished drawings of rude pictographs at Black Rock Spring, Utah, repre- 

 sented in Figure 153. Some of the 

 other characters not represented in 

 the figure consist of several horizon- 

 tal lines, placed one above another, 

 above which are a number of spots, 

 the whole appearing like a numeri- 

 cal record having reference to the 

 figure alongside, which resembles, 

 to a slight extent, a melon with tor- 

 tuous 'vines and steins. The left- 

 hand upper figure suggests the 

 masks shown on Plate LXXXI. 



Mr. Gilbert Thompson, of the 

 United States Geological Survey, 

 has discovered pictographs at Fool 

 Creek Canon, Utah, shown in Fig- 

 ure 154, which strongly resemble 

 those still made by the Moki of Ari- 

 zona. Several characters are ident- 

 ical with those last mentioned, and 

 represent human figures, one of 

 which is drawn to represent a man, 

 shown by a cross, the upper arm of 

 which is attached to the perinseum. 



These are all drawn in red color and were executed at three different 

 periods. Other neighboring pictographs are pecked and unpainted, 

 while others are both pecked and painted. 



Both of these pictographs from Utah may be compared with the Moki 

 pictographs from Oakley Springs, Arizona, copied in Figure 1, page 30. 



Dr. G. W. Barnes, of San Diego, California, has kindly furnished 

 sketches of pictographs prepared for him by Mrs. F. A. Kimball, of 

 National City, California, which were copied from records 25 miles north- 

 east of the former city. Mauy of them found upon the faces of large 

 rocks are almost obliterated, though sufficient remains to permit trac- 

 ing. The only color used appears to be red ocher. Many of the char- 

 acters, as noticed upon the drawings, closely resemble those in New 

 Mexico, at Ojo de Benado, south of Zufii, and in the canon leading 

 from the canon at Stewart's ranch, to the Kanab (reek Canon, Utah. 

 This is an indication of the habitat of the Shoshouian stock apart from 

 the linguistic evidence with which it agrees. 



The power of determining the authorship of pictographs made ou 

 materials other than rocks, by means of their general style and type,
