126. NGURLUWARILANI (Ngamani Tribe). To the high forehead. 

 The head of the Toa represents a plain on Cooper's 'Creek, and the red stripes 

 the cracks in the ground in dry seasons. The white band, below, is a depres- 

 sion in the plain. The Muramura Darana's dog, which he called Ngurlu- 

 warila because it had a high forehead, tried to run away here, and so he- named 

 the place after it. ...•,. 



127. MANATANDRANI (Diari Tribe). Meaning to the tooth. Details 

 not known. 



128. DITJILUNGANI. Meaning "'this is, indeed, a star." The Mura- 

 niura, Winkarakalpina, wandered here one night and, seeing a shooting star, 

 he was frightened, and exclaimed : "this is. indeed, a star!" ,' 



129. KIDNIKALUWULUNI (Diari Tribe). To the two hills. Here 

 the Muramura, Yelkabalubaluna, wandered about, carrying with him his two 

 dead boys. On one occasion he is said to have thrown away his two testes, 

 from which arose two adjoining hills. These are represented by the two 

 knobs of the Toa. The black patches at their ends denote stones of that 

 colour at the tops of the hills. The red and white bands on the knobs signify 

 layers of stones on the yellow soil of the hills. 



130. YADINGURANI (Diari Tribe). To the place of the spindle. The 

 shape I if the Toa is intended to represent a spindle (yadi ) with two crossbars 

 on which string is wound. So named because the Muramura, Nurawordu- 

 bununa, once sat here on the plain and made a spindle for himself. 



\M. PIRRANGURANI (Diari Tribe). To the "Moon camp." The 

 central prominence of the Toa represents a hill round which are banks of red, 

 white, and yellow sand, indicated by the circular bands of those colours. The 

 central point of the prominence indicates a crater-like depression, and the 

 radiating red lines are watercourses which lead into it. Here the Muramura, 

 ■Pirra, is said to have appeared out of the earth. The black areas between the 

 radiating lines signify that he was burned there by his children. 



132. PANTUNI (Diari Tribe). To the lake. The Toa is a representa- 

 tion of the shape of Lake Hope (Panto). The red circle in the middle is a 

 deej) place where the Muramura, Nurawordubununa, originally came forth, 

 and the bed of Cooper's Creek is said to have formed itself along the line of 

 his tracks. It is also said that the bitch, Pantupayani, with her young, lived 

 in the hole out of which the Muramura came forth, and that, later on, the 

 female Muramura, Ngattanimarumaru, enticed them to her. The red spots
