18 BOOMERANGS FROM N.S.W. AND QUEENSLAND, 



concave side of the weapon. The immediate apex at one end is 

 cross-incised, and bears a few irregular v-shaped nicks. 



The length is two feet three and a half inches; breadth two 

 and a quarter inches; and the weight twelve ounces. It is from 

 St. George, Balonne River ( Mr. P. R. Pedley). 



Fig. 10 is again a bilaterally unsymmetrical boomerang as 

 regards the incised sculpture. There are thi'ee cross-bars formed 

 of one obliquely cross-notched incised line. One of these is near 

 the centre, another half way between this and one of the apices, 

 and the third at the apex referred to, thus dividing the surface 

 into three unef[ual lengths. The middle line bears acute small 

 rhombs, extending throughout the two larger divisions. On each 

 side the line of rhombs are the usual rolling or fluctuating grooves 

 four to five on either side; whilst the middle line of the division 

 unornamented by riiombs, is occupied by similar grooves. The 

 apex at this end bears a transverse double zig-zag pattern, and a 

 single similar series is intra-marginal on the convex side of the 

 boomerang. 



Length two feet three and a half inches; breadth two and a 

 quarter inches; and the weight eleven ounces. This is a much 

 shorter and more highly curved weapon. 



St. George, Balonne River (Mr. P. R. Pedley). 



The middle line of this boomerang (Fig. 11) instead of rhombs 

 is ornamented by deeply incised rolling grooves. Flanking these 

 are two similar grooves, intra-marginal in position, and between 

 the latter and both edges of the weapon are a series of crosses. 

 There are four cross-bars, one towards each apex, and one on 

 either side the centre of the weapon. At the apices are broad 

 semi-lunar transverse bands, both concave in the same direction, 

 and vertically grooved. 



The length is two feet four and a half inches ; breadth two 

 inches ; and weight ten and a half ounces. 



This boomerang is again from St. George, and in the collection 

 of Mr. P. R. Pedley. Like Fig. 10 it is a good deal curved. 



Another very bilaterally unsymmetrical boomerang is represented 

 by Fig. 9. The principal sculpture consists of three ranges of
