MYSTERIOUS INSCRIPTIONS.
Tattooed Rocks.
There are now on view at Mr F. P. Corkill's ofh'ce in New Plymouth several photographs of some of the mysterious " tattooed rocks " which lie on the ocean beach near Raglan, and are supposed to be tho work of a prehistoric race. The Maoris, who have lived in the immediate neighbourhood since the arrival of the Maori in New Zealand, have no knowledge or tradition relating to the original of the inscriptions or hieroglyphics. The Maoris merely state that the stones were there before they came from Hawaii Id. The photos were obtained by tracing some of the inscriptions in chalk.
