WONGAIDYA. 



This small vocabulary was obtained about the year 1880 

 in Baroota from natives of the tribe which then wandered 

 through the country on both sides of the Flinders Range 

 from Crystal Brook northwards to beyond Port Augusta. 

 Even in those days it was a small and degraded people, and 

 is now probably extinct or nearly so. Most of my vocabulary 

 has been lost, but enough remains to show that the language 

 was nearly allied to those of the Adelaide and Yorke Penin- 

 sula tribes, but with leanings in its vocabulary towards 

 Parnkalla and Wirrung.
