Some of these words are the same as those collected by 

 R. Helms during the Elder Expedition of 1891 among the 

 tribes of the Everard and Blyth Ranges, who evidently speak 

 the same language. For purposes cf comparison these words 

 are given in Mr. Helms' spelling: — pia, shell (this evidently 

 = bi -.a, given above for "snailshell") ; ibi, breast ; kapi, water; 

 karditti, teeth: kaleya, emu; kulbi, rockpainting ; kumbum- 

 beri, cockroach; maira, hand; meru, spear-thrower; nokum, 

 egg: papa, barking of a dog; wanna, yamstick; wera, wooden 

 bowl; wilda, eagle; o, yes. The difference of meaning 

 given to the word "papa" is curious, but some light is thrown 

 on the subject by the vocabulary of the Parnkalla (Eyre 

 Peninsula) language, published by the Rev. C. W. Schiir- 

 m^ann in 1844, where "pappa" is given as meaning a young 

 animal, v/lielp or pup. The following words, taken from the 

 vocabulary of the Lake Amadeus and George Gill Range 

 aborigines, which %vas published by Mounted Constable
