representations of carved figures, but not of any of those given 
herein. 
The outlines, both old and modern, are cut on the smooth 
patches, which are mostly a few feet in extent only, so that they 
mostly form a disconnected series, but in several places are so 
crowded together that they may represent the ornamentation 
of a “ bora ” ground, or place where the more important cere- 
monials were conducted. The carvings commence at the western 
end about two chains from the railway surr ey level post marked 
X/l, which is about 13& chains due south by scale from the 
intersection of Anderson and Wedge Streets (see plate I, which 
is adapted from the plans of the Survey and Public Works depart- 
ments.) The drawings forming plate II were made by the 
writer during the stay of the steamer “ Bullarra ” at the port 
during a passage from Perth to Derby in 1908. 1 he following is 
a brief list of the groups of figures : — 
No. 1. Two fishing lines and hook, also another with a 
anchor-like fish-hook ; also an emu foot-print. 
Nos. 2, 30 and 34. These may possibly be deity figures. 
No. 3. Several fishing lines and two kylies. 
No. 4. A man. 
No. 5. A shark. 
No. 6. A seal. 
Nos. 7, 22, 23, 25, 28. Unknown. 
No. 8. A woman. 
No. 9. A “ skate ” caught by a fishing line, also a 
spear. One of the two separate figures was stated 
by an aboriginal to be a phallic representation, as 
are possibly figures 19 and 31. 
No. 10. Spear fitted to a womera, a kylie and a foot- 
print. 
Nos. xi and 13. Leaves of a tree. 
Nos. 12, 15, 16, 20, 29. Kylies. 
No. 18. Two shields. 
No. 24. Turtle. 
No. 32. Emu nest and hunter’s footprints, also a hawk 
and dilly bag. 
No. 33. One spear and kylie, two shields and two emu 
footprints. 
The railway has been laid out along the ridge and it will 
probably entaifthe destruction of most of these carvings, either 
directly or indirectly, so that it is desirable that as man} of the 
figures may be recorded as possible for future reference. 
(2) Notes upon the Aboriginal Dancing Boards of 
Western Australia. 
The aboriginal tribes inhabiting the interior of Western 
Australia have some peculiarities in form of weapons, ornaments, 
and ceremonials differing from those of the coastal tribes. Among
