TREATMENT OF THE SUN IN INDIAN PICTOGRAPHY.

As to the "treatment of the sun," we find faces with rays, or divergent

curves, in Schoolcraft, vol. i., p. 362, figs. 16 and 17, and p. 409,

fig. 9; vol. iii., p. 493,--a circle with rays in the rock inscription

(Delaware perhaps) on the Susquehanna near the Maryland line, a face

without rays in the rock inscription (also Delaware, possibly) at Safe

Harbor on the Susquehanna, and a face with rays, the counterpart of the

carving in question, on a small broken tablet found near Akron, Ohio,

in the collection of the late Mr. Dupont, of Philadelphia, who had no

doubt of its authenticity.
