COMPARATIVE VOCABULARY 



OF 



THREE OF THE LANGUAGES OF THE SOUTH-EAST COAST OF 

 NEW GUINEA AND THE LOUISIADE ARCHIPELAGO. 



The materials composing the following Vocabulary are 

 arranged in tliree columns, according to the localities 

 where they were obtained. 



I. Redscar Bay (on the S.E. coast of New Guinea, in 

 lat. 9° 17' S. and long, 146° 53' E.), and its neighbourhood. 



II. Brumer Island (on the S.E. coast of New Guinea, 

 in lat. 10° 45' S. and long. 150° 22' E.), and its neigh- 

 bourhood; also Dufaure Island (about 40 miles to the 

 westward) . When the same word was given at both these 

 places, I have indicated this circumstance by the letter b 

 placed after the word ; those procured at Dufaure Island 

 only are marked by the letter D. 



III. Brierly Island (Louisiade Archipelago, in lat. 11° 

 20' S. and long. 153° 9' E.) ; also a few words, distin- 

 guished by the letter D, procured at the Duchateau Isles 

 from natives of some neighbouring islands of the Calvados 

 Group.
