As a further test, beyond the one Mozambique language 

 answering to the Yarra, if we take other Australian roots, 

 we shall find their correspondents in the other languages of 

 the Mozambique. Thus, five roots for " man" and three for 

 " hair" admit of being so compared. 



The Echuca, Morcovia, and Sandford particularly show 

 this, and the results are obtained from Mo re ton Bay, in 

 North Australia ; New South Wales in the east, and from 

 Western Australia.
