Notes on Hawaiian Petroglyphs. 65 



During the past forty or fifty years the ancient road has been 

 mainly used by cattle traveling to and from the uplands on the 

 west, and the animals' hoofs wearing down the sandstone have 

 almost obliterated the majority of the carvings. Fortunately a 

 little to the south side of the trail, several blocks of the footprints 

 were found in comparatively good condition, and through the 

 kindness and assistance of Mr. Geo. P. Cooke, the manager of the 



fig. 44. 



Molokai Ranch on whose property the trail lies, three slabs (Figs. 

 42-44) were cut out and sent to the Bishop Museum. A fourth 

 ( Fig. 45) was left, walled in, as it was considered impracticable to 

 remove it with advantage on account of its size and the crumbly 

 condition of the stone. 



Judd refers to these footprints, and also faint remains of 

 petroglyphs representing the human form. Trace of only one was 

 seen by the writer, but a visit at a different time of day with a slant- 

 ing light would probably give more. It was somewhat pleasing 

 to note an absence of names and initials. 



About the middle of the north side of Molokai is a hill called 

 variously Kaulana-hoa by Fornander, Puu Xanahoa by Brigham
