PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION F. 
Pigs. 13 and 14. — The rudely drawn animals here represented are 
probably intended for kangaroo rats. They are carved on a rock, 
sloping slightly towards the north-east, within Portion No. 75, of 34 
acres 3 roods 20 perches, parish of Gordon. On this rock is a hole of 
permanent water, tilled by a small stream running over it, close to the 
margin of which are about thirty hollows worn into the rock by the 
aborigines sharpening their stone hatchets upon it.* 
Pig. 15. — This well-executed carving of a kangaroo rat or wallaby, 
3 feet 1 inch in length, is drawn on the same rock as Pig. 2. 
Pig. 16. — A kangaroo rat, carved on an extensive flat rock level 
with the ground, four or live chains to the east of the old road from 
Peat’s Ferry to Sydney, and about a mile and a-tjuarter northerly from 
Yize Trigonometrical Station, parish of Cowan. 
Pig. 17. — 1 think this small animal is intended for the echidna or 
hedgehog, as 1 have seen several similar carvings in various places and 
have described them elsewhere. It is on the same rock as Pigs. 6 and 1 2. 
Pig. 18. — It is difficult to determine whether this drawing is 
intended to represent a bird on the wing, or some kind of a fish. It 
is carved on the same rock as Pig. 16. 
Pigs. 10 and 20. — These two shields, one of which is 4 feet 1 inch 
and the other 2 feet 7 inches in length, are carved on a flat rock about 
half-a-mile north-westerly from Cooper Trigonometrical Station, parish 
of Frederick. Neither of them has the longitudinal or transverse bars 
usually seen on similar carvings. 
Pigs. 21 to 24 represent a shield and three boomerangs, carved 
on the same rock as Pigs. 16 and 18. The boomerang shown in Pig. 24 
has a line along the middle, probably for ornament. 
Pigs. 25 and 26 are two shields carved upon a large mass of sand- 
stone on the western side of the old dray-track leading from Portion 
No. 71, of 100 acres, parish of Broken Bay, to Tabor Trigonometrical 
Station. The surface of the rock slopes gently towards the north- 
east. Attention is drawn to the triangular spaces at each end of 
Pig. 26, which are not very common. 
Fig. 27. — This representation of a large lizard is carved on a flat 
rock level with the surrounding land, about three chains southerly from 
Pig. 8. 
Pig. 28. — This carving, which is evidently intended for an eel, is 
6 feet 4 inches in length, and its greatest width is 1 foot. The 
pectoral flus and eyes are shown, and there are five bands cut across 
the body, apparently for the purpose of decoration. It is on the 
same rock as Pig. 4. 
Pig. 20. — The group of four sting rays here depicted is carved 
on a rock a little above high water on the southern shore of the 
Hawkesbury Kiver, at a place known as Kangaroo Point, and is within 
Portion No. 11, of 10 acres, parish of Cowan. The rock on which 
they are drawn has a slope forming an angle of about 25 degrees with 
the horizon. Both the eyes are shown in each fish, and in all of them 
a portion of the tail has been carried away by the natural decay of the 
rock, as indicated on the plate.
