311. PITITERKANI (Diari Tribe). To the Wirra bush, which extends 

 its roots upwards. This is a plant which grows in a globular form, and when it 

 withers it is easily blown away by the wind, and then remains with its roots 

 extended upwards. When the Muramura, Patjalina, came to this place and 

 saw a hill, it appeared to him just like a Wirra bush with its roots in the air. 

 The white knob represents a conical hill, and the black transverse band is a 

 watercourse near the hill, whose banks are overgrown with bushes (red and 

 yellow spots). The l^lack band below the head is a waterhole in the creek, at 

 which the natives camp. 



312. MILDIRANI (Diari Tribe). To the stone chisel quarry. This 

 place was discovered and named by the Muramura, Turupiwulana, who also 

 invented the chisel. The white of the Toa denotes a plain on which stone 

 chisels are made, and a representation of this implement is affixed. 



313. PA-ULANI (Diari Tribe). To the Pa-u bush plain. So named 

 because the Muramura, Warriwulani, found it covered with this kind of grass. 

 White represents the plain, which is crossed by the Cooper (red band), and 

 a bunch of the grass is attached. 



314. TAPAYINKINIETJANI (Diari Tribe). To the place where the 

 female Muramura, Wariliwulani. called the giver of wounds, came out of the 

 earth. The head of the Toa represents a hill on which watercourses (black 

 stripes) have been washed out, and its white toj) the place where the Mura- 

 mura emerged. As she arose she saw that her bodv was covered with sores, on 

 which account she so named the place. (When, at the present day a man 

 desires, by magic, to cause anyone to be afflicted with sores he invokes the 

 Muramura, Wariliwulani. ) 



315. WINTIKARUNI (Diari Tribe). Significance unfit for description. 



316. TURUPILLANI (Diari Tribe). To the charcoal. The white part 

 of the Toa represents a waterhole where the Muramura, Turtipillana, came out 

 of the earth. The piece of charcoal is affixed because the Muramura introduced 

 the practice of sprinkling ashes over boys undergoing the Wilyaru ceremony. 



317. WIRRAWORALUNI (Diari Tribe). To the place where the Mura- 

 mura threw the club (wirra). The wirra is a fighting weapon, represented by 

 the form of the Toa. With such a club the female Muramura, Noangandrani, 

 slew her husband, Yelkabaluljaluna, and when he was dead she threw the wirra 

 far away. Where it fell appeared a waterhole, represented by the white head, 

 and Noangandrani said, "thither have I thrown the wirra." 



318. WARIWARINI (Diari Tribe). To the Wariwari bushes. Dis- 

 covered and named by the Muramura, Mandramankana. The white part 

 represents a plain on which these bushes grow, and a bunch is affixed.
