gives the Yualarai language as obtaining on the Balonne, and 

 further states that the Wolaroi tongue is spoken on the Bundarra 

 (or Gwydir) River— which latter observation agrees with my own 

 data. 



John Fraser* gives the Kamilaroi range as the Gwydir (m}'' 

 Koomilroi), Mt. Gravesend and Terry-hie-hie (my Wolroi), and 

 also the Maclntyre River (which is partly in my Koomilroi and 

 partly in my Beegumbul). Elsewheref he includes Yaggabi, on 

 the Gwydir, within the Kamilaroi area. This, too, would form 

 part of my Wolroi. 



R. H. Matthews,! in his account of the Kamilaroi Bora, gives 

 as the localities in which Kamilaroi is spoken, Meroe, Mogil 

 Mogil, Gundablouie, Mungindi and Kunopia, in New South 

 Wales; and in Queensland, Tallwood, Redbank Creek, Moogan, 

 Warril Creek, and the lower Mooni, all of which accord well 

 with my Koomilroi. Further, the native words used in ^latthews' 

 account are altogether different from Ridley's Kamilaroi language. 

 Again, Matthews, in his description of the New England Bora, 

 gives the Kamilaroi range as extending over the Namoi, Gwydir, 

 Barwon and west of the latter (Koomilroi again), but also the 

 Maclntyre and Severn Rivers, wdiich is opposed to Ridley's 

 authority as well as his own in another article. Matthews 

 includes St. George in the Kogai tongue, but Ridley places Kogai 

 west of the Balonne. 



24. Wdihcun. — At Wee Waa on the Namoi. According to 

 Ridley, this language is spoken on the Barwon for about 40 miles 

 below the junction of the Namoi. Being so remote from the 

 haunts of my Ngarrabul informant, I cannot lay stress on this 

 discrepancy. Doubtless Ridle3''s information is the more 

 accurate. 



Ngarrabul mythology ascribes unity to all the blacks until a 

 ijreat flood overwhelmed the land. After that the survivors
