Stirling and Waite — Description of Toas 135 



of the Toa represents the waterhole. and the two breasts deep parts of it. The 

 red bands on the neck and head signify elevations of the land. 



156. TJUKURUTIDNANI. To the kangaroo's foot. The Toa repre- 

 sents a hind foot of this animal, but the particulars of its reference are not 

 known. 



157. NGANTIBURUNANI (Diari Tribe). To the place where the 

 animals crouch. The Toa represents the heads of two Tidnawarukatji animals, 

 because when the Muramura, Karuwontirina, came here he saw these animals 

 crouching. 



158. TIDNAWARUKANANI (Diari Tribe). Meaning "to lift the foot." 

 So named because, when the female Muramura, Noangandrani, killed her 

 husband, she crept up to him while he slept and lifted her foot in the act of 

 striking. The Toa thus represents an uplifted foot. 



159. TJUTJUTULURANI (Kuyani Tribe). To the snake's back. To 

 the Muramura, Papapapana, who once came here, the range of hills appeared 

 like a snake's back ; hence the name he gave. The white parts of the Toa 

 indicate the limestone nature of the soil, and the red patches stones of that 

 colour. 



160. PAYATIDNANI (Diari Tribe). To the bird's foot. Here the 

 Muramura, Darana, once saw a Mulpu bird standing upon a large stone, and 

 when it flew away it had left the impress of its foot upon the stone. The red 

 part of the base of the Toa represents the foot-print, and the white below, the 

 stone. 



161. TILTJAWATAPATANANI (Diari Tribe). This name means 

 "are not vour legs wearv?" Here the Muramura, Yelkabalubaluna, met another 

 Muramura and told him how far he had travelled. The latter then said: 

 "tiltja\inkam zvata patai?" — are not your legs tired. The former then moved his 

 leg, as represented by the Toa to show that he was not weary. 



162. NGATTANIMARALJANI (Diari Tribe). To the red daughter. 

 So called because the Muramura, I'irranguruna, here found a mother with a 

 reddish-coloured daughter, which seemed to him remarkable. The larger of 

 the two prominences represents the mother, and the smaller, the daughter. 



163. PARALKUTERKANANI (Diari Tribe). To where the Paralku 

 bird stands. The white ground represents Lake Hope, and the red colour 

 three peninsulas jutting into it. Because the Muramura, Darana, found many 

 Paralku birds there, and because the disposition of the three peninsulas 

 resembled a foot-print of these birds, he so named the place.
