MALLERY. | IN BRAZIL. 157 
The under part of this rock forms a shelter, and on the root of this shelter are all the 
remaining characters of the figure. 
To the right or south of the shelter containing the inscription is a stone, with the 
form of the figure represented in the third place in the lower row of characters, 
counting from left to right, on a small heap, with the rear end raised up and the 
sharp point toward the east, its side inclining toward the west, in such a way that 
it can be climbed to the end which is erect. 
On the same side, at the south, but beyond this, on the top of a rise, is a mound in 
sight, which is represented by the figure [delineated in the lower part of Fig. 123 at 
the extreme right, ] resembling an inclosure (corral) with the 21 small lines before it.

Fig. 123.—Petroglyphs in Inhamun, Brazil. 
Fig. 124 is a copy of an inscription at Pedra Lavrada, Province of 
Parahiba, published loe. cit., but the description by Senhor de Alencar 
Araripe is very meager, amounting in substance to the following: 
This is an inscription of vast proportions on a large rock in the town of Pedra 
Lavrada, which takes its name from that of the rock. 
Other petroglyphs in Brazil are copied in Figs. 1107, 1108, 1109, 1110, 
1111, 1113, 1114, and also under the heading of Cup Sculptures, Chap- 
ter V, infra.

I. P. Moreno (a), Museo de La Plata, Catamarca, gives an illustra- 
tion of an inscribed rock at Bajo de Canota, Mendoza, reproduced as 
Fig. 125. 
PERU. 
The following account is furnished by Messrs. de Rivero and Von 
Tschudi (a): 
Eight leagues north of Arequipa there exist a multitude of engravings on granite 
which represent figures of animals, flowers, and fortifications, and which doubtless 
tell the story of events anterior to the dynasty of the Incas.
