Part IV. 



A Series of Progressive Exercises in the Koko-yimidir 

 Dialect, with Translations. 



(To accompany Bulletin 2). 9 



These exercises have been based, as far as possible, on those 

 accompanying the Pitta-Pitta Grammar in the " Ethnological 

 Studies." 10 As the first three examples of the latter, however, 

 were originally drawn up only to illustrate certain peculiarities 

 not met with in the Koko-yimidir dialect, the exercises commence 

 here with No. 4. They have all been revised by Rev. G. H. 

 Schwarz, Superintendent of Hope Valley Mission Station, Cape 

 Bedford.
