PLATE III. 
Native Rock Drawings. 
Figs. 1, 2. Ayers Rock. The latter is certainly and the former probably 
intended to represent a lizard, but I am unable to explain the 
meaning of the radiating lines from the head end of the drawings. 
Fig. 
3. 
Between Reedy Creek and Bagot Creek. The track of a 
lizard. 
Figs. 
4, 5. 
Ayers Rock. 
Probably Eggs. 
Fig.

Of unknown significance. 
Figs. 
7, 9.

Snakes. 
Fig. 
8.

Bird. 
Fig. 
10. 
Ayers Rock. 
Stated by the blacks to be a Dingo. 
Fig. 
11. 
Ayers Rock. 
Human Heads ; the only attempt seen 
to delineate 
any part of the human body. 
Figs. 12, 13, 14. Ayers Rock. Significance unknown to the blacks who were 
questioned. Fig. 12 might conceivably be meant for a looping 
caterpillar, and Fig. 13 suggests to the medical mind a fcctiis in 
niero or possibly a marsupial embryo in the pouch, though I can 
scarcely believe this view to be credible. 
PLATE IV. 
Native Rock Drawings. 
Fig. 1. Rock-shelter at Reedy Creek, Gill Range. Emu sitting on eggs as if 
seen from below or from above through a transparent body. 
Fig 2. Emu tracks, these were on the rock-face immediately below Fig. 1. 
Fig. 3. Rock-shelter between Reedy Creek and Bagot Creek, Gill Range. A 
Lizard. 
Fig. 4. Ayers Rock. A snake. 
Fig. 
From the same rock-shelter as Figs. 1 and 2. This rather elaborate 
figure was stated by the blacks to be a decoration pattern.
