 the left side of which a little watercourse runs. The Toa represents the plain, 

 which is overgrown with various sorts of trees and bushes (red and yellow 

 spots), but the watercourse is not indicated. Discovered and named by the 

 Muramura, Kurkalina. 



10,^. PAYAMARDANI (Ngamani Tribe). To Egg Hill. The white 

 swelling below the top denotes a hill on which "i^etrified eggs," such as that 

 forming the head of the Toa. are supposed to lie. Here the Muramura, 

 Ngardutyelpani, in the form of a bird, is said to have laid eggs and died. 



104. PIRRANGARIMANI (Yeluyanti Tribe). Meaning '"to shake 

 the food bowl." Here the Muramura, Marluna, collected seeds and winnowed 

 them from the husks by shaking them in a bowl. The Toa shows the shape

 of the Toa represents the shape of a limestone hill, the red ring at the top 

 indicating prominent stones. The red, vertical stripes at the lower part, 

 denote watercourses running down the hill into a water-hole (red band just

 the Mardalburuna Creek, \\-hich was so called by the Muramura of that name.

 the Cooper divides into two branches (represented by the two red bands) 

 which re-unite. The charcoal has reference to the fact that the Muramura 

 taught the practice of sprinkling ashes on the boys undergoing the Wilyaru 

 ceremony. 



107. MILKI"WILPAWULUNI (Wonkanguru Tribe). To the two 

 eyes. The Muramura, Yikaura, on coming once to this place found two water- 

 holes close together like two eyes, and they are thus represented on the Toa. 

 The yellow ground denotes the colour of the plain, and the white dots are gum 

 trees. The white top signifies a sandhill which juts into the plain.
