penetrated the softer portions of the limestone, though upon the harder 
surfaces it has been removed by exposure to the elements. The lower- 
most figure appears to resemble a rude outline of a human form, with 
one arm lowered and reaching forward, though this is only a suggestion. 
Upon the face of the rock, a few yards to the right of the above, are 
indistinct outlines of circles, several of which indicate central spots, 
and one, at least, has a line extending from the center downward for 
about 8 inches. 
OHIO. 
A large number of petroglyphs are reported from this state. It is 
sufficient to present the following examples extracted, with reproduced 
illustrations and abbreviated descriptions, from the Report of the Com- 
mittee of the State Archeological Society, published in the Report of 
the Ohio State Board of Centennial Managers. 
Fig 63 is a copy of the petroglyph on the Newark Track rock. 
Fig. 63.—Newark Track rock, Ohio. 
It is deseribed in the volume cited, pages 94, 95, as follows: 
The inscriptions near Newark, in Licking county, Ohio, originally covered a ver- 
tical face of conglomerate rock, 50 or 60 feet in length, by 6 and 8 feet in height. 
This rock is soft and, therefore, the figures are easily erased * * *. About the 
year 1800 it became a place where white men sought to immortalize themselves by 
cutting their names across the old inscription x 
On the rock faces and detached sandstone blocks of the banks of the Ohio river 
there are numerous groups of intaglios, but in them the style is quite different from 
those to which I have referred, and which are located in the interior. Those on the 
Ohio river resemble the symbolical records of the North American Indians, such as 
the Kelley Island stone, described in Schooleraft by Capt. Eastman, the Dighton 
rock, the Big Indian rock of the Susquehanna, and the ‘‘God rock” of the Allegheny 
river. In those the supposed bird track is generally wanting. The large sculptured 
rock near Wellsville, which is only visible at low water of the Ohio, has among the 
figures one that is prominent on the Barnesville stones. ‘This is the fore foot of the 
bear, with the outside toe distorted and set outward at right angles. 
Other sculptured rocks of a similar character have been found in Fairfield, Bel- 
mont, Cuyahoga, and Lorain counties.
