saw himself as he had never seen himself before. But even 
now he was dependent on the wind, for when it blew from 
the west he wandered on, when it blew from some other 
direction he rested, and at those places kadimarkara were 
produced from his excrement. 
According to some statements there were at that time two 
kadimarkara at Yidni-minka who, out of fear of shim, hid 
themselves in their burrows. At Ngapa-ngayimala*° Nura- 
wordu-bununa found the way blocked by two kadimakara, 
which had laid themselves down on the ground head to head. 
As they would not let him pass, he threw them aside with 
the kunya *! with which his forehead was armed, and passed 
on. Two great eucalyptus trees*® growing there, one on 
each side of the river channel, are the two kadimakaras 
which tried to stop Nura-wordu-bununa. 
Passing between them he came to another kalyumarn, 
where there were many kalyu bushes growing, and where 
many Mura-muras were collected together; but, he being 
now a tiutyu,®? could not remain with them. At Kunyani 
he saw the Mura-mura, Pampo-ulas,24 Great Wooden Bowl,” 
which he had filled with gypsum,®° and secured with sticks, 
in a water-hole to procure rain. Passing by Nganti-woka- 
rana,*? he saw the Mura-mura of that name with his long 
tipa *8, and then came to Nura-wordu, which place he named 
after the kadimarkara which were formed out of his excre- 
ment. Thence he went to Nari-wolpu,?? where an assem- 
blage of Mura-muras was broken up by the deaths among

of a spear, or the thin end of a spear-thrower (kukuru), which are used by 
the medicine-men (kunki) for evil magic.

“death, or the dead,’ and “‘moku”? means “ bones;” but, in this 
instance, the Ngameni and Wonkanguru word “wolpu” is used, the 
equivalent of ‘“‘ moku.”
