44 
hairs of the men.* Тһе drawings vary in length from about 6 in. 
to 1 ft. 
Fra. 5.—Probably a chest ornamentation or other corroboree decora- 
tion. The only explanation that I could acquire from a resident 
native was that of “ inma-nuirrti " (corroboree rings) The total 
length of the design is 3 ft. 6 in. 
Fra. 6.—Possibly a diagram of a shield. It is somewhat similar to the 
one pictured by Mr. Helms. 
Fic. 7.—A very interesting drawing, illustrating, in plan, the method 
of camping of a black and his gin. The longer curve, on the right, 
represents the male, the shorter the female, the dots on either 
side the fires, and the top curve the brush-wood shelter that is 
constructed at the heads of the sleepers on the windward side of 
the camp. This sketch was explained to me by a native of the 
Karkurrerra Tribe. 
Ета. 8.—Depicts the tracks of a wallaby that is being pursued by a 
native from left to right. Тһе paired tracks represent those of 
the game, and the intervening oblique marks those of the hunter. 
The design was continued for a greater distance than is shown 
on the plate. 
Prats XV.— Kurrekapinnya Soakage Well (continued). 
Fics 1, 2, 3 represent snakes or snake tracks; 4, 5, and 6 bein 
rather doubtful The large designs are many feet in length. 
Fie. 7.—Bustard tracks. 
Fic. 8.—Bustard and rabbit tracks, 
Fras. 9 and 94.— Kangaroo tracks. 
Fras 10 and 104.—Similar drawings appear in the Anthropology of 
the Elder Expedition. 
Fre. 11.—An emu track. 
Ета. 12,—The “© circle within circle” design of corroborees (?). The 
remaining designs are not obvious, though they may, perhaps, 
belong to the category of those connected with corroborees.

Рглте XVI.—Kurrekapinnya Soakage Well (continued). 
Fra. 1.—This design, which is 3 ft. in length, suggests the skeleton 
of a snake, though, but for its great length, it might well 
be taken to represent a centipede, the obliquely set lines at one 
end being intended for its ** feelers.” 
Fra 2.—0f unknown significance. 
Fra. 3, 34, AND 3B.—Concentric circles. See Plates XIL., ЖҮЛ 
and XXI. 
Ета. 4.—A spiral design, probably connected with corroboree 
decoration. 
Fra. 5.—' The same explanation as that given for fig. 1 may possibly 
apply here also ; it is 2ft. long; and it had been done, in the first 
place, in yellow ochre, and subsequently re-drawn in red. 
* An identical sketch has been reproduced by Mr. Helms in the ** Anthro- 
pology of the Elder Expedition." He states that it “is undoubtedly 
meant for a fringed apron, as is worn by some tribes after certain rites 
have been performed upon the wearer."— Trans. Roy. Soc. S. A., vol. xvi.,
