Aunuals for 1898, page 122, and 1904, page 180. While some of

anything yet noticed in this group, nor in Mallery’s splendid 
record of pictographic writing. A cannibalistic foreigner is re-

noted authority on Hawaiian history, expressed the opinion to the 
writer that the man wasa Marquesan. Petroglyphs found in those 
islands may throw some light on the subject. The stone is be- 
lieved to have been demolished in 1895.

and Judd later observed others which brought the maximum meas- 
urement up to 7 feet. These do not by any means constitute the 
entire number at that place, as it is reported that there are still 
large tracts of petroglyphs covered by the beach sand. ‘Those ex- 
amined had been laid bare by the waves during a storm. Farley 
also gives an account, by an old Hawaiian woman, of these having

her fellow pupils and two Roman Catholic priests, and of the ex- 
istence of figures of birds and fish, and an un-Hawatian vessel with
