UPON ABORIGINAL PICTOGRAPHS REPORTED 
FROM NEW BRUNSWICK. 
By W. F. Ganong. 
Read October 6, 1903. 
So far as I have been able to ascertain, there have been re- 
ported from New Brunswick only four aboriginal pictographs,* 
real or supposed, as follows : 
(1) The pictures upon wood indicating a portage-path and 
a dangerous fall, described by Gesner in his New Brunswick, 
page 1 12. These have, of course, disappeared, and no others of 
the kind are known. 
(2) The well-known carved stone medallion found near St. 
George in 1863, and now in the museum of this Society. Its 
origin is doubtful, and the probability is that it is not of Indian 
workmanship.** 
* Excluding carvings, such as that described by Dr. (i. F. Matthew in the Smithsonian 
Ref>ort, for 1881, p. 672-673, with cut.
