680 PICTURE-WRITING OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 
The four specimens of Algonquian petroglyphs presented here in 
Figs. 1088-91 and those referred to, show gradations in type. In 
connection with them reference may be made to the numerous Ojibwa 
bark records in this work; the Ottawa pipestem, Fig. 738; and they 
may be contrasted with the many Dakota, Shoshoni, and Innuit draw- 
ings also presented.

The petroglyphs found scattered throughout the states and terri- 
tories embraced within the area bounded by the Rocky mountains on 
the east and the Sierra Nevada on the west, and generally south of 
the forty-eighth degree of latitude, are markedly similar in the class of 
objects represented and the general 
@|® style of their delineation, without ref- 
erence to their division into pecked 
or painted characters; also. in many 
instances the sites selected for petro- 
glyphic display are of substantially 
the same character. This type has 
been generally designated as the 
r) Shoshonean, though many localities 
abounding in petroglyphs of the type 
are now inhabited by tribes of other 
linguistic stocks. 
Mr. G. K. Gilbert, of the U. S. 
Geological Survey, has furnished a 
small collection of drawings of Sho- 
shonean petroglyphs from Oneida, 
Idaho, shown in Fig. 39, supra. 
Five miles northwest from this 
locality and one-half mile east from 
Marsh creek is another group of 
characters on basalt bowlders, appar--

shoni. A copy of these, also contributed by Mr. Gilbert, is given in 
Fig. 1092. 
All of these drawings resemble the petroglyphs found at Partridge
