to watch or direct its movements; behind these are a number of odd figures, followed 
by an antlered animal resembling a deer, which seems to be drawing a notched 
sledge containing two figures of men. The figures forming the main body of the 
procession appear to be tied together in a continuons line, and in form resemble one 
living creature about as little as another. Many of the smaller figures above and 
below are certainly intended to represent dogs, while a number of men are stationed 
about here and there as if to keep the procession in order. 
As to the importance of the event recorded in this picture, no conclusions can be 
drawn ; it may represent the migration of a tribe or family or the trophies of a vic- 
tory. A number of figures are wanting in the drawing at the left, while some of 
those at the right may not belong properly to the main group. The reduction is, 
approximately, to one-twelfth. 
Designs B and C of the same figure represent only the more distinct portions of 
two other groups. The complication of figures is so great that a number of hours 
would have been necessary for their delineation, and an attempt to analyze them 
here would be fruitless.

It will be noticed that the last two petroglyphs are in New Mexico, but 
they are so near the border of Colorado and so connected with the 
series in that state that they are presented under the same heading. 
CONNECTICUT. 
The following account is extracted from Rafn’s Antiquitates Ameri- 
cane (a): 
In the year 1789 Doctor Ezra Stiles, D. D., visited a rock situated in the Town- 
ship of Kent in the State of Connecticut, at a place called Scaticook, by the Indians. 
He thus describes it: ‘*‘ Over against Seaticook and about one hundred rods East of 
Housatonic River, is an eminence or elevation which is called Cobble Hill. On the 
top of this stands the rock charged with antique unknown characters. This rock is 
by itself and not a portion of the Mountains; it is of White Flint; ranges North and 
South; is from twelve to fourteen feet long; and from eight to ten wide at base and 
top; and of an uneven surface. On the top I did not perceive any characters; but 
the sides all around are irregularly charged with unknown characters, made not 
indeed with the incision of a chisel, yet most certainly with an iron tool, and that by
