V. The Narrinyeri Nation.—This and the next following nation, 
VI, have been described by me in Zhe American Anthropologist, 
Vol. xi, pp. 331-343. 
VI. The Booandik Nation, reaching into Wie toa There are 
two phratries, Krokitch and Kamatch, the men of the one marrying 
the women of the other. 
VII. The Kookatha Nation.—The principal tribes are the Koo- 
katha, Wirrunga, Yilrea, Warnabirrie and others. 
VIII. The Andigarina Nation, consisting of the Andigarina, 
Loorudgee and Arrinda tribes, with four intermarrying divisions, as 
explained in the text of this paper. To show the wide geographic 
range of this system, it is interesting to notice that on the Batavia 
river, in the extreme north of Queensland, the Joongoonjee tribe 
is divided into two intermarrying phratries, called Chamagunda 
and Gamanutta; the former is subdivided into two sections, named 
Langename and Namegoore, and the latter into two, called Pack- 
wicki and Pamarang. ‘The children of both sexes belong to the 
same phratry as their mother. 
There are no feminine equivalents for these section names, but 
each phratry has a coliection of totems, which the natives call edee?, 
some of which are the emu, dingo, rock, bamboo, wood, crow, fire, 
kangaroo, carpet-snake, sea, shark, sun, black-duck, rat, pigeon, 
fresh water. 
The reader’s attention is invited to a line (see map) from Port 
Augusta, passing east of Lake Frome and entering the New South 
Wales boundary south of Tilcha. All the tribes to the west, 
northwest and north of this line practice the rite of splitting the 
penis in addition to that of circumcision. ‘There is a belt of coun- 
try, including Yorke Peninsula, Adelaide, Bundalear, and extend- 
ing into New South Wales, in which circumcision only is in force ; 
the southeastern limit of this tract is also delineated upon the map 
as far as the New South Wales boundary. From the latter point 
onward, through the Australian Continent to the Gulf of Carpenta- 
ria, the position of the line separating the tribes who practice cir- 
cumcision and splitting the penis from those among whom neither 
custom is in vogue, is defined on maps accompanying contributions 
by me to» different societies.’
