pecks or picking, after the manner of the Dighton Rock. The Lacunae or excaya-

GEORGIA. 
Charles ©. Jones, jr., (a) describes a petroglyph in Georgia as follows: 
In Porsyth county, Georgia, is a carved or incised howlder of fine grained granite, 
about 9 feet long, 4 feet 6 inches high, and 3 feet broad at its widest point. The 
figures are cut in the bowlder from one-half to three-fourths of an inch deep. It is 
generally believed that they are the work of the Cherokees. 
The illustration given by him is here reproduced in Fig. 38, It will be 
noted that the characters in it are chiefly circles, including plain, nucle- 
ated, and concentric, sometimes two or more being joined by straight 
lines, forming what is now known as the ‘spectacle shaped” figure. 
The illustrations should be compared with the many others presented 
in this paper under the heading of Cup Seulptures, see Chapter v, intra. 
Fic. 38.— Petroglyphs in Georgia. 
Dr. M. F. Stephenson (a) mentions sculptures of human feet, various 
animals, bear tracks, ete., in Enchanted mountain, Union county, Geor- 
gia. The whole number of sculptures is reported as one hundred and 
forty-six. 
Mr. Jones (b) gives a different résumé of the objects depicted, as fol- 
lows: 
Upon the Enchanted mountain, in Union county, cut in plutonic rock, are the tracks 
of men, women, children, deer, bears, bisons, turkeys, and terrapins, and the out- 
lines of a snake, of two deer, and of a human hand. These seulptures—so tar as they k 
have been ascertained and counted—number one hundred and thirty-six. The most 
extravagant among them is that known as the footprint of the ‘*Great Warrior.” 
It measures 18 inches in length and has six toes. The other human tracks and those 
of the animals are delineated with commendable fidelity.
