Stirling and W'aite — Description of Toas 145 



up. The yellow colour at the top indicates the ochre mine, and the red point a 

 foothill. 



234. KARAWORANI (Diari Tribe). To the place where the Muramura 

 saw an eagle. The head of the Toa represents a waterhole with red banks, 

 where the Muramura, Tupuworana, once saw an eagle. Feathers of this bird 

 are attached. 



23?. TJUTJUNURAWORDUNI (Diari Tribe). To the stumpy croco- 

 dile's tail. This flat, represented by the white head of the Toa, was named by 

 the Muramura, Nurawordubununa, who, seeing its shape, likened it to a 

 stumpy tail of a crocodile. The red stripes are watercourses. 



236. MIRINGARUNI (Diari Tribe). To the emu feathers on the hill. 

 Here the two Muranniras, Wariliwulani, once found emu feathers on the top 

 of a hill; hence the name and the tuft of emu feathers affixed. 



237. PILTIRANI (Diari Tribe). To the place of splinters of wood. 

 The head of the Toa represents a plain traversed by watercourses (red stripes), 

 where the Muramura, Pitikipana, once fought with other Muramuras. When 

 the fight was over many splinters from their weapons lay about. Wood 

 splinters are affixed. 



238. WARUKATIWALPUNI (Diari Tribe). To the place bestrewn 

 with emu bones. So named because when the Muramura, Patjalina, once came 

 to this place he found many emu bones scattered about. The head of the Toa 

 is a piece of an emu's leg bone covered with white earth, and the two white 

 bands on the stem denote waterholes with red banks. 



239. KUYAMARAKILINANI (Diari Tribe). To where the Kuyamara 

 bushes wave. So named because, here, the Muramura, Wontamalirina, once 

 saw these bushes waving in the wind. Twigs of the bush are inserted into the 

 head of the Toa, which represents a plain crossed by two watercourses (red 

 bands ). 



240. DIDLAWALPANI. To the Didla bush flat. So named because 

 the Muramura, Patjalina, found the flat covered with this bush, a bunch of 

 which is attached. The red and yellow stripes are watercourses. 



241. TALTRANTANI. To the Taltranta grass flat. The head denotes 

 the flat with red banks which the Muramura, Pirnaworankana, found over- 

 grown with this grass, a bunch of which is inserted at the top. 



242. WARUKATIWIRINANI (Diari Tribe). To the place where the 

 emus come in. .So named because, here, on a stony plain (red spots), the Mura- 

 mura, Pitikipana, once saw many emus coming in from the sandhills; hence 

 the tuft of emu feathers at the top.
