The figures presented in Pl. VIII are, with one exception, each about one-thirtieth the size of the original. The animal character in _e_ is upon the top of the largest bowlder shown on Fig. 17, and is pecked to the depth of from one-fourth to one-half an inch. Portions of it are much defaced through erosion by sand blown by the strong summer winds. The characters in _g_ are only one-tenth of the original size, but of depth similar to the preceding. [Illustration: BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY TENTH ANNUAL REPORT PL. VIII PETROGLYPHS IN OWENS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.] On Pl. IX, _a_ is one-twentieth the size of the original, while the remaining sculpturings are about one-tenth size. The cross in _a_ is singularly interesting because of the elaborateness of its execution. The surface within the circle is pecked out so as to have the cross stand out bold and level with the original surface. This is true also of _f_ on Pl. VIII. Pl. IX, _b_, contains some animal forms like those reported from New Mexico and Arizona, and Brazil [and presented in this work], especially that character to the right resembling a guanaco couchant, although, from its relationship to the figure of an antelope, in the same group, it no doubt is intended to represent one of the latter species. [Illustration: BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY TENTH ANNUAL REPORT PL. IX PETROGLYPHS IN OWENS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.] On Pl. X, as well as on others of this collection, are found many forms of circles with interior decoration, such as lines arranged by pairs, threes, etc., zigzag and cross lines, and other seemingly endless arrangements. They are interesting from the fact of the occurrence of almost identical forms in remote localities, as in the Canary islands and in Brazil. [These are figured and described infra.] [Illustration: BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY TENTH ANNUAL REPORT PL. X PETROGLYPHS IN OWENS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.] It is probable that they are not meaningless, because the disposition of the Indian, as he is to-day, is such that no time would be spent upon such laborious work without an object, and only motives of a religious or ceremonial nature would induce him to expend the time and labor necessary to accomplish such results as are still presented. On Pl. XI, _a_, are more footprints and animal forms of the genus _cervus_ or _antelocapra_. The figures in _b_ and _d_, having an upright line with two crossing it at right angles, may signify either a lizard or man, the latter signification being probably the true one, as similar forms are drawn in petroglyphs of a Shoshonian type, as in Arizona.
