PI. 39.

A double figure consisting of a labyrinth-shaped carving, united with a
spirally wound line, the outer circumference of which was formed by almost
square tongues, and the inner part by an irregular spiral. The length of the
labyrinth-shaped figure was 58 cm., the greatest diameter of the spiral figure
54 cm. It was sculptured in the solid rock near the preceding figure, at the
extremity of the promontory, and was now partly covered by water.

PI. 39.

Almost identical in form with the spiral figure of the preceding carving,
but more regular. The inner spiral had more turnings, four in number. The
greatest diameter, if the projections are included, was 86 cm. It was also
cut in the solid rock at the promontory itself, near the line of water.

V

PI. 40.

A queerly composed figure. The greatest length was 109 cm. It was found
some little way from the shore at Punta de Pantheon, cut in the solid rock.

V

PI. 40.

Some coarsely carved faces; only one had the nose marked, the other
lour exhibiting only eyes and mouth. The length of the largest face was
25 cm., of the smallest 20 cm. A little spherical excavation, a rock-hollow,
was to be seen between two of the faces. They were carved in a loose
block of stone, about two meters in diameter, lying a little way up from
the shore.
