is the manner of procedure when neighbouring tribes or groups 
of natives visit. 
Further words or verses that are sung at various corroborees 
were supplied to me by an old native. They are as follows :— 
Sung only by the old men : 
Tchinganaleri kootetü ngåtatu araunä panganyéno 
Tehinganalöri karäma allbürnä allbinya allyerillyérinna. 
By the young men: 
Awangä anörre otannamanni unndi oolarri ennö 
All together : 
Ngürra ngannge nganengä 
Ngätä awankä kari rinpi rörrinje 
Alanoo kürü innä innä ngata tunna &wangannyé ngata 
Ngurrá nganngö innyä komberä mbare 
Jengaal garinjan ngarrawurrübäne dedinmän 
Yérrépomatch wanganyé arrau murra murra wanganye 
Unnja oolanna indawa oolanná pomatchi wanga wanganye

Pala akriká äkwitchü pärinnä winbinkch kwitchu parinna 
Nunnba attütunna yawülgäranna Karkurrerraralle ullga-

Kutchü ngarinnä wangany& warangililljo wanganye yàno. 
The meanings of the above verses I was unable to ascertain, 
although several words included therein are familiar—notably 
the names of the two tribes, Karkurrerra and Alinjerra. 
Naming of Native Children. —Each child receives a name. In 
many cases this name ends in what appears to be a diminutive 
ending, viz, “-inna.” When the child grows up this ending is 
often dropped. For instance, a young girl of the Karkurrerra 
Tribe was called Unnrubinna ; an old woman of the same tribe, 
Unnruba. Many natives have received names that allude either 
to deformities of the body or personal characteristics.* 
Examples of this class of names have been cited on page 13 :— 
Jinnakularrikna (Stink - foot) Kartakardonne (Bald - head), 
Jinnamureryanna (Crooked-foot) and Jinnangalerriknga (Big- 
foot).
