characters. 
Fic. 74.—Petroglyphs on ‘‘ Indian God rock.” 
Fig. 74, a, represents, apparently, a panther. Above and beneath it 
are markings resembling wolf tracks, while farther down is a turkey 
track, and in the left-hand lower corner is a human form, such as is 
usually found upon rocks in the areas represented by Shoshoniun tribes. 
The design at bis much mutilated and eroded, and may originally 
have been a character like a, the first of this series. 
The characters at ¢ and d are evidently human faces, the former rep- 
resenting that of the sun, the latter being very much likeamask. That

Friar,” Maryland, in the Susquehanna river, immediately below the 
state line of Pennsylvania. 
The bowlder upon which these petroglyphs are engraved lies at the 
water’s edge, and during each freshet the lower half of the surface and 
sometimes even more is under water. At these times floating logs, 
impelled according to the curve in the river immediately above, are 
directed toward this rock, which may explain the worn surface and 
the eroded condition of the sculpture. 
Mr. J. Sutton Wall, of Monongahela city, describes in correspond- 
ence a rock bearing pictographs opposite the town of Millsboro, in Fay- 
ette county, Pennsylvania. This rock is about 390 feet above the level 
of the Monongahela river, and belongs to the Waynesburg stratum of 
sandstone. It is detached and rests somewhat below its true horizon. 
It is about 6 feet in thickness, and has vertical sides; only two figures 
are carved on the sides, the principal inscriptions being on the top, and 
all are now considerably worn. Mr. Wall mentions the outlines of 
animals and some other figures formed by grooves or channels cut from 
an inch to a mere trace in depth. No indications of tool marks were
