90 MATHEWS—SOUTH AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES. (an. 19. 
have four intermarrying divisions named as follow: Koomara, Bel- 
thara, Gaballa and Deringera. ; 
Adjoining, but farther to the northward than the Andigarina, 
Loorudgee, Arrinda and Yorrawinga people, are a number of tribes 
who are distinguished by having eight intermarrying divisions, in- 
stead of two, or four, as in the communities herein described. This 
eight-section organization extends northerly to the Gulf of Car- 
pentaria and Cambridge Gulf, and will be dealt with in another 
article. 
The language spoken by the Arrindaand allied tribes, and reach- 
ing a long way into the eight-section system, has been ably studied 
and explained by the Rev. H. Kempe.? 
EXPLANATION OF THE Map. 
I. The Parnkalla Nation.—This is the largest nation in South 
Australia, occupying a territory of upwards of 700 miles in length, 
by a maximum width of 300 miles. In consequence of the immense 
tract occupied, it has been thought advisable to locate on the 
map certain communities, consisting of one or more of the tribes , 
constituting the nation. ‘These communities are represented as 
Nos. 1 to 10 on the map, and are all divided into the two phratries, 
Matturri and Kirraroo, already explained. The names of some of 
the principal tribes in each community are as follow: No. 1, Parn- 
kalla, Nauo, Willewroo and Kooapidna tribes. No. 2, Nookoona 
and Eeleeree. No. 3, Kooyeeunna and others. No. 4, Kutchna- 
mootha. No. 5, Pilladapa. No. 6, Dieyerie. No. 7, Ahminie. 
No. 8, Wonkaoora and Wonkamudla. No. 9g, Arrabunna. No. 10, 
Hillary, Kakarraru and Yallingarra tribes. 
II. The Yowerawarrika Nation.—The principal tribes compos- 
ing this nation are the Yowerawarrika, Yandrawontha, Wonka- 
murra, Mullinchie, Kullally and others. 
III. The Barkunjee Nation, extending into New South Wales, 
has two intermarrying phratries, Muckwarra and Keelparra, and the 
offspring belong to their mother’s division.
