just as, for instance, we ourselves term the inhabitants of India, 

 Hindoos, or of New Guinea, Papuans, &c. 



2. Ddng-getli or Tdng-getti. — From Kempsey to the Upper 

 Macleay River. My Ngarrabul informant includes the whole 

 of this area within the limits of one language, but that many 

 tribes were situated in this locality w^e know from the writings

 tribes. R. H. Matthews, J describing a New England Bora^ 

 says that, over the New England District from Moonbi to Ben 

 Lomonci, and east perhaps to Walcha, Hillgrove and Oban, 

 westerly almost to Bundarra and Inverell, the Bora differed
