They are joined on the west by a coastal tribe, the 

 Wocjait,* who claim country across the Daly River to about 

 Cape Ford, and on the east by the Wrdnat tribe. Between 

 the Wof/a/f and La r re kit/a, and passing south of the former 

 to the Daly River mouth, lies the country of a small tribe, 

 the Sheratf, or "Paperbark natives." closely related to the 

 Larrekii/d. East of the Sherait border the GKnerakan. The 

 Ponf/a-poiiga tribe lives to the south of the Wof/a'tt , on the 

 Daly River; and still furtlier south the Mullul-Mulluk.X a 

 powerful tribe, holds a large area, which is subdivided and 

 allotted to individual dependent clans, as the iJjiramo, on 

 the west bank of the river, south-west of Mount Litchfield, 

 and the Komorrkir, living on the same bank, south of the 

 Djinniio. With a more local distribution, the Marranunga, 

 another strong tribe, occupies the countrv around Hermit 

 Hill. 



The Wogaitii are bordered on the west by the Berrin- 

 gin. whose domain extends from Cape Ford to a point about 

 18^T miles north of Point Pearce, known to them as AUait- 

 'perra. They are bordered on the south by either a distinct 

 tribe or subdivision of their own, known as the Kvjera, who 

 were not seen personally. The Ginmu are the next on the 

 west, extending, roughlv. to the boundarv of Western Aus- 

 tralia. 



Southwards from Port Darwin, along the mining centres, 

 the original tribes have been disarranged by European and 

 Asiatic interference, and it is difficult to secure authentic 

 information concerning their former possessions and rites. 

 One large tribe, called the A ivarrai,% has existed south of 

 the Lnrrekiga, extending from Mounts Charles and Gun south 

 to about the latitude of Mount Wells. To the south-east, 

 beyond the Mary River, are the Aghcallein, the valley in 

 which Burrundie now stands forming neutral ground. 



The tribes east of the Adelaide River were not visited; 

 but through the kindness of Mr. F. E. Benda. Secretary to 

 the lion. Minister controlling the Northern Territory. I 

 have received the names of tribes of the MacArthur River 

 district, which were collected by the late Cornelius Power, 

 Corporal of Police, stationed at Borroloola. The majority 

 of these names, allowing for slight phonetic variations, have 



* Varioii.s synonynvs for this tribe exi'^t. sucli :i^ Wndgaif. 

 Wariffit-e, Worqiic, and Wariqofr. 



t Sometimes written Wnnhier.
