680 NGARRABUL AND OTHER ABORIGINAL TRIBES, II., 



16. Kao-dinhul. — Inglewood (Queensland), and extending 

 towards the Dumaresque and Mooni Rivers. Ridley gives 

 Kingki and Paiamba as the languages of the adjacent Darling 

 Downs. 



17. Wigal-wolluinhul. — Mooni River (Queensland). 



18. Wee-n^gul-la-m'hul. — Queensland, beyond the Weir River. 



19. Gianiehal or Ghinieral. — Wallangra and Blue Nobby. 



20. Wolroi. — Terry-hie-hie, Paramallowa, Molroy, Warialda, 

 and on the south almost to Bingara. Ridley"^ gives Wolaroi 

 (with the half rowel a, which my informants did not sound) as 

 obtaining on the Bundarra or Gwydir River. Part of the 

 Gwydir is certainly within their area, but the name Bundarra 

 River is usually reserved for the upper affluent stream — in the 

 Inuwon territory. 



21. Giroomhul. — Mt. Lowry, Manilla, Barraba, and on the 

 Gwydir River at Bingara. 



22. Koomilroi. — This I was told w^as a tribe quite distinct 

 from Kamilroi, and had its own expression of negation — koomil. 

 This language was spoken at Breeza, on the Namoi (Narrabri, 

 Boggabri, Gunnedah), on the Gwydir (Moree, and extending 

 almost to Bingara). In a southerly direction the tribe adjoined 

 upon Kamilroi, while north-westerly it crossed the Queensland 

 border and reached as far as St. George. 



23. Kdmilroi. — I always heard this name pronounced as 

 written, without the half vowel a between the second and third 

 syllables {Kdniilaroi). Other writers have spelt the word thus — 

 Gumniilroi and Comleroy. Bretonf describes an aboriginal fight 

 ■which took place at Wollombi, near the Lower Hunter, and in 

 which the Comleroy blacks engaged. The precise area occupied 

 by the Kamilroi tribe appears to be involved somewhat in 

 obscurity, different writers expressing widely divergent opinions. 

 The limits ascribed generally seem to be extraordinaril}^ wide in
