[May 6, 



East of the Moorawarrie is a large tribe speaking the Uollaroi 

 dialect ; they have the same sectional divisions as the former, and 

 with some variations their totems closely agree. In both tribes 

 descent is reckoned through the mother. In gathering the particu- 

 lars respecting the Moorawarrie tribe, now for the first time pub- 

 lished, I desire to thank Mr. J. E. Miller, of Goodooga, for his will- 

 ing assistance.
