rocky spur, about three-quarters of a mile north-easterly from the 
north-east corner of Portion No. 50, of 40 acres, parish of Broken Bay. 
Pig. 4. — This interesting carving represents a side view of a human 
being in a sitting position ; one leg is shown, but both arms have been 
omitted. An attempt has apparently been made to show a profile of 
the face, but both eyes are visible on the same side. Eight ray-like 
lines, about 5 inches loug, probably to represent ornaments worn in 
the hair, rise from the top of the head. The carving is on the level 
surface of a rock close by the eastern side of the road from Peat’s 
Perry to Sydney, and about a quarter of a mile northerly from Vize 
Trigonometrical Station, parish of Cowan. 
Pig. 5. — The remaining lines of the human figure here depicted 
have been completely obliterated by the erosion of the rock. This 
carving is on a large rock, sloping north-easterly, on Portion No. 1139, 
of 241 acres, parish of Manly Cove. 
Pig. 6. — The man or boy here represented is carved on a rock, 
sloping westerly, at the head of a small freshwater gully flowing 
north-westerly into Cowan Creek, and is about half -a- mile in a south- 
westerly direction from Wallaroo Trigonometrical Station, parish of 
Broken Bay. The height is 2 feet 6 inches, and the drawing is 
interesting on account of both feet being turned in the same direction. 
Pig. 7. — This is another attempt at producing a profile of a human 
figure, apparently in a sitting position, only one leg and one arm being 
shown, as in the carvings of kangaroos and other animals. The short 
line at Ibe lower end of the body may have been a commencement 
to draw the other leg, but this was not proceeded with. The length 
of the head-dress is 12 inches. This is one of a number of carvings 
of different objects on a large horizontal mass of sandstone, on a 
bridle-path from Mangrove Creek to the Hawkesbury River, parish of 
Spencer, county of Northumberland. 
Pig. 8. — Represents a native shield, 3 feet 11 inches long, and 
10 inches at its greatest width. There is a longitudinal and three 
transverse bars cut upon it. This carving is on top of a large boulder 
with a convex surface, about 150 yards south-easterly from the 
Hawkesbury Railway Station, within Portion No. 9, of 100 acres, 
parish of Cowan. 
Pig. 9. — This oval object, 6 feet 11 inches by 5 feet, is carved 
upon a flat rock level with the ground, about five or six chains south- 
westerly from the last described. 
Pig. 10. — It is difficult to determine what animal this carving is 
intended to represent ; except for the length of the tail it resembles 
the wombat, and was probably intended for that animal. It measures 
6 feet 3 inches from the nose to the end of the tail. This carving is 
on the face of an almost vertical rock close to the left bank of Calabash 
Creek, at its junction with Berowra Creek, parish of Berowra. 
Pig. 11. — This is another animal the identity oE which it is 
difficult to determine, but it is probably an opossum. Its length from 
the nose to the tip of the tail is 5 feet 5 inches. It is carved on a flat 
rock within Portion No. 1140, of 40 acres, parish of Manly Cove. 
Pig. 12. — This well-executed drawing of a wallaby is carved on 
the same rock as Pig. 6 ; its length from the nose to the end of the 
tail is 4 feet 4 inches.
