petroglyphs in Shinumo canyon, Utah. They probably are of Moki 
workmanship. 
Fig. 1164, from Mr. Stevenson’s paper in the Kighth Annual Report 
of the Bureau of Ethnology, p. 283, is the form of a 
man, drawn in the sand in the Hasjelti ceremony of 
the Navajo. 
The left-hand character of Fig. 1165 is described in. 
Keam’s MS. as follows: 
This isa conventional design of dragon flies, and is often found 
among rock etchings throughout the plateau [Arizona]. The

upon the people. 
This form of the figure, with little vertical lines added to the transverse lines, 
connects the Batolatei with the Ho-bo-bo emblems. The youth who was sacrificed 
and translated by Ho-be-bo reappeared a long time afterwards, during a season of 
great drought, in the form of a gigantic dragon fly, who led the rain clouds over the 
lands of Ho-pi-tu, bringing plenteous rains. 
Describing the middle character 
of the figure, he says: “The figure 
represents a woman. The breath 
sign is displayed in the interior. 
The simpler design in the right-hand 
Fic. 1165.—Man and woman. Moki. character consists of two triangles, 
one upon another, and is called the ‘woman’s head and body.” 
Fig. 1166, reproduced by permission from the Century Magazine for 
October, 1891, p. 887, is a representation of 
a golden breastplate found in the United 
States of Colombia, and now in the Ruiz- 
Randall collection. The human figure is 
nearly identical with some of those described { 
and illustrated in the present work as found E 
in other localities. 
Creyaux, quoted by Marcano, (g) in speak- 
ing of the photographs of French Guyana, 
makes these useful suggestions:

The drawings of frogs found by Brown on the 
Esesquibo are nothing else than human figures such as the Galihis, the Roucouyen- 
nes, and the Oyampis represent them every day on their pagaras, their pottery, or 
their skin. We ourselves, on examining these figures with legs and arms spread 
out, thought that they were meant for frogs, but the Indians told us that that was 
their manner of representing man. 
In Necropolis of Ancon in Peru, by W. Reiss and A. Stubel, (a) are 
descriptions of figures a to g in Pl. L, all being painted sepulcher tab- 
lets one-seventh of the actual size. The descriptions are condensed. 
The general characteristics of the tablets are that they are in a tabular 
form, made of reeds, and covered with a white cotton fabric, the edges of
