Near Big Eock itself is a porcupine in much the same style, but the patina has the appearance of being very much older. Possibly this is due to the. Fig. 6.—Buck in Style 7, on Rock 22. figure being drawn on a horizontal flat surface which has undergone the maximum of weathering. 8. Very lightly rubbed outlines. Eock 32 shows a series of pools much as they would appear in the rainy season in a shallow ero- sion gulley. Such a gulley is easily visible from this spot, perhaps 200 yards east. Near this, also on Burkitt's Hill, is a crudely executed drawing of a human couple copulating. An ostrich on Eock 34 may belong to this style. A buck, depicted with a queer form over its head, possibly representing water as seen in perspective from the hill above, is the only animal which can certainly be relegated to this style. 9. Lightly scratched and scrabbled figures. The elephant and the rhinoceros are generally depicted, but a fine eland, some 4 feet long, is to be seen among the Eastern Outlyers (Plate LII). A bufialo being followed by a man, in the same region, may belong to this.
