Fic. 44.—Petroglyphs in Kansas. 
KENTUCKY. 
Mr. James D. Middleton, formerly of the Bureau of Ethnology, in 
a letter dated August 14, 1886, reports that at a point in Union 
county, Kentucky, nearly opposite Shawneetown, Illinois, petroglyphs 
are found, aud from the description given by him they appear to re- 
semble those in Jackson county, Llinois, mentioned above. 
Mr. W. E. Barton, of Wellington, Ohio, in a communication dated 
October 4, 1890, writes as follows: 
At Clover Bottom, Kentucky, on a spur of the Big Hill, in Jackson county, about 
13 miles from Berea, is a large rock which old settlers say was covered with soil and 
vegetation within theirmemory. Upon it are representations of human tracks, with 
what appear to be those of a bear, a horse, and a dog. These are all in the same 
direction, as though a man leading a horse, foilowed the dog upon the bear’s track, 
Crossing these is a series of tracks of another and larger sort which I can notattempt 
to identify. The stone is a sandstone in the subcarboniferous. As I remember, the 
strata are nearly horizontal, but erosion has made the surface a slope of about 20°. 
The tracks ascending the slope cross the strata. I havenotseen them forsome years. 
The crossing of the strata shows that the tracks are the work of human hands, if 
indeed it were not preposterous to think of anything else in rocks of that period. 
Still the tracks are so well made that one is tempted to ask if they can be real. 
They alternate right and left, though the erosion and travel have worn out some of 
the left tracks. A wagon road passes over the rock and was the cause of the present 
exposure of the stone. It can be readily found a fourth of a mile or less from the 
Pine Grove schoolhouse. 
MAINE. 
A number of inscribed rocks have been found in Maine and informa- 
tion of others has been obtained. The most interesting of them and 
the largest group series yet discovered in New England is shown in 
JL sane, 
The rock upon which the glyphs appear is in the town of Machias- 
port, Maine, at Clarks point, on the northwestern side of Machias bay,
