MALLERY. | PETROGLYPHS IN IDAHO. 
IDAHO, 
Mr. G. K. Gilbert, of the U. 8S. Geological Survey, has furnished a 
small collection of drawings of Shoshonean petroglyphs from Oneida, 
Idaho, shown in Fig. 89. Some of them appear to be totemic charac- 
ters, and possibly were made to record the names of visitors to the 
locality. 
Mr. Willard D. Johnson, of the U. S. Geological Survey, reports 
pictographic remains observed by him near Oneida, Idaho, in 1879. 
The figures represent human beings and were on a rock of basalt. 
A copy of another petroglyph found in Idaho appears in Fig. 1092,

kG. 389.—Petroglyphs in Idaho (Shoshonean) 
ILLINOIS. 
Petroglyphs are reported by Mr. John Criley as occurring near Aya, 
Jackson county, Hlinois. The outlines of the characters observed by 
him were drawn from memory and submitted to Mr. Charles 8. Mason, 
of Toledo, Ohio, through whom they were furnished to the Bureau of 
Ethnology. Little reliance can be placed upon the accuracy ot such 
drawing, but from the general appearance of the sketches the originals 
of which they are copies were probably made by one of the middle A1- 
gonquian tribes of Indians. 
The “Piasa” rock, as it is generally designated, was referred to by 
the missionary explorer Marquette in 1675, [ts situation was immedi- 
ately above the city of Alton, Llinois.
