Notes on Hawatian Petroglyphs. 53

carvings at this place were few, but novel. In Fig. 23 is one, 3 
inches long, with five-fingered hands sheltering three small ab- 
normally fashioned glyphs; at the base of its neck was a distinct 
line stretching above its right shoulder. It might tell the story 
of a large and valiant man struck with a spear while defending 
his children or less capable fellows. Another, Fig. 24, with its 
lewer half omitted, reached down with a four-fingered hand in the

vironment, Fig. 27, 16 inches long and Fig. 26 are peculiar from 
the fact*that eyes were represented without head outlines. The 
ancient native trail leading past this spot to Punaluu crossed a 
flow of aa. To add to the comfort of the barefooted traveler, a 
line of smooth water-worn stones had been placed on the sharp 
clinkers about two and one-half feet apart. On one of these stones 
a small graving was seen (Fig. 29). It is now in the Bishop 
Museum. The figure is of a common form, length 7 inches, but 
graved in shallower channels than is usual—only .o05 inch deep. 
The head is .2 inch deeper. The slight depth may be accounted for 
by the extremely hard surface of the stone. To make the petro- 
glyph distinct in the photograph, the finger was wetted and passed 
along the grooves of the figure before exposing the plate.
