stags. The size of the drawings is approximately that of those 

 previously described. 



(4) Karpatia, — These are situated in Panna territory about \ 

 mile south of the border and H miles south of the Chaunri Forest 



bungalow, which is 12 miles S,-S.-E, of Manikpur Railway Sta- 

 tion. Here the di^awinojs are more numerous, but show few siorns 

 of any mutual connection and are poorly executed. There are 

 several crude representations of men and at least one bird. 



I have been told that there are other drawings of a similar 

 character at (5) some four miles south of Kalyanpur and so about 

 11 miles south of Manikpur Railway Station and three miles 

 north of the village of Amwan in Panna territoiy. (6) In Mauza 

 Uldan on the " ari " close to the Bnrasih Gliati, some two miles 

 S.-W. of Ranipur-Kalyangarh and eight or nine miles S.-E. of 

 Manikpur Railway Station ; and (7) on a hill some eight or ten 

 miles south of Bargarh Raihvay Station on the E.I. Railway. 

 These three localities I have been unable to visit and so am not 



able to say for certain whether the drawings are similar to those 

 1 have seen. 



As regards the origin of these drawings I am unable to offer 

 any suggestions ; there appear to be absolutely no local legends 

 about them, the residents whom I have questioned merely asserting 

 that they are very old. I believe the late Mr. Cockburn has 



described similar drawings in the Mirzapur district.
