Fig. 113 is a reproduction of the illustration given. [Illustration: FIG. 113.--Petroglyphs at the Caldierão do Inferno, Brazil.] The moment we arrived at the falls of Girão we searched for stone carvings, finding a few, and several repetitions of circles similar to those already found. Designs _a_ and _d_ are on the west and east side of the same rock, which is 9 feet in length. The figure is 21 inches high, the five circles 1 foot across. The east side was almost obliterated. Designs _b_ and _c_ are on loose stones; _b_, facing west, is 16 inches long; the rock is 50 inches long and 35 wide; _c_ is 22 inches long; the rock 70 inches long by 27 inches broad, and was 30 feet above the river at date. The rocks are basaltic, dipping north at an angle of 86°. Many small stones, 1 and 2 feet in diameter, lie about, with marks on them nearly defaced. Fig. 114 is a reproduction of the illustration. [Illustration: FIG. 114.--Petroglyphs at the falls of Girão, Brazil.] At Pederneira all the rocks on the right side at the foot of the rapids are literally covered with figures. Fig. 115 _a_ is on a large bowlder facing the south; _b_ has joined to its right side, _c_; _d_, _e_, and _f_ are on the same stone. Most of these rocks are only a few feet above low water and are covered at least eight months each year. [Illustration: FIG. 115.--Petroglyphs at Pederneira, Brazil.] At Araras rapids the river is very wide, [containing] two islands and a rocky ledge crossing the river from the rapid. Nearly all the rocks on the right bank are covered with figures. These are reproduced in Fig. 116. [Illustration: FIG. 116.--Petroglyphs at Araras rapids, Brazil.] Having no small canoe we could not pass a small channel so as to gather copies of the figures we could see at a distance. The approaches both above and below the rapids and falls are many times as difficult to pass as the rapid or fall itself, giving rise to the division into “head,” “body,” and “tail.” Some not only have these divisions, but also have these subdivided into “head, body, and tail.” One is constantly hearing “el rabo,” “el rabo del rabo,” “el rabo del cuerpo,” or “cabeza,” and so on. Ribeiráo.--The tail of the rapid is 3 miles in length, a continuous broken current and fields of rocks. It is here, on a rock but a foot or two above the river, that the hieroglyphic shown in F. Keller’s “Amazon and Madeira” is found. As both Mr. Fetterman and myself made copies of it, unknown to the other till finished, our copies may be relied on, although differing from Keller’s. The length of the upper part is 45 inches and of the lower 36 inches, with 13 inches depth of each. The copy mentioned is given here as Fig. 117.
