Prare XX.—The cave in which these drawings were found is 
situated a few chains north of that to which those of the previous 
elong, viz, Opparinna, Musgrave Ranges. 
l.—A good drawing of a snake, nearly 4 ft. in length. It was 
drawn in red ochre, lined with black (charcoal). Тһе poor state of 
preservation of this figure has necessitated partial reconstruction 
of the outline, 
. 2. —Doubtful. 
. 3.—Upon asking the natives for information about this design, 
the only reply one could get was ‘‘picaninny.” If this be a 
correct interpretation of the figure, the absence of head and legs 
is remarkable. The striping of the design is, moreover, peculiar. 
What appears more likely is that the figure is a copy of a striped 
shirt or guernsey, which may have been presented to the natives 
by a previous exploring party. To account for the explanation of 
““picaninny,” one might assume that the garment had been used 
to clothe the child. Dimensions, 20 in. by 29 in. 
Ете. 4.—Judging from the symmetry of this design, it in all pro- 
bability illustrates a chest ornamentation. Under that view

the spiral portions of the design would probably have been 
painted over the two breasts, and the large broad-arrow-like 
portion over the abdomen. Its dimensions : Length, about 
16 in.; breadth, 18 in. ; diameter, of the circles enclosing the 
; > , 8 
spirals, about 8 in. 
5. — Probably represents a shield, 11 in. long. 
Prare XXT.—Drawings from rock shelters in the Musgrave 
. Of these figures, 1, 2, and 3 were from the southern 
flanks of the ranges not far east of Jacky’s Pass ; the remainder 
occur upon an overhanging joint face of granite at Giles’s West 
1.-—The shape of the two ends suggests the head and tail of a 
lizard, but it seems inconceivable that the artist should have 
multiplied the legs to the extent he has, It is drawn in charcoal, 
surrounded by red ochre, and is 19 in, x 7 in. 
2.—Representation of a boomerang, 1 ft. long. See Plates XI. 
and XII. 
3.—Very many feet of these paired kangaroo tracks covered the 
walls of the cave, and the figure represents portion of a track 
6 ft. in length. 
4.—Concentric rings, alternately red and white in color, the 
largest 9 in. in diameter, 
5, 54, and 5B.—Have been discussed before, 
6.—Plan of a native camp without the shelter at the head. See 
also Plates XIV., fig. 7, and XVI., fig. 11. 
7. —Doubtful. 
8.—A bustard track. 
9.—Poor drawings of dingo tracks, the toes being deficient in 
number in two of them, 
10.-—These figures probably depict the track of a white man’s 
boot, the enlargement at the lower end of the figures repre- 
senting the heel of the boot. The lowest member of the series is 
drawn in white (kaolin), the remaining in red ochre. 
11.—Various designs of kangaroo or wallaby tracks,
