u-as evidently displaced from a convenient outer bend of a large 

 eucalyptus tree. A circular pad for carrying these bowls on the 

 head was also found. It was excellently made of twisted 

 (opossum ?) hair-string. Near Camp 33 several similar pads made 

 of grass were found, which is evidence that the native women 

 have to carry water witli tliem when the tribe is on the move, 

 and that they carry the bowls on the head. 



G. FRASER RANGE TRIBE. 



Spear, Kadji, Winda. — Barbed like those of the Everard 

 Range ti'ibe. 



Spear-thrower, Me.ru, Wordat.—Vlnin and straigiit (PI. 14, 



%■ 2)- 



BooMBBANG, Eaili, Wallena. — Both the large and smaller kinds 

 were seen by me, but not often. It seems that this tribe, like 

 those met previously, have little use for them. Neither kind was 

 well finished ; the smaller curved rather wider and clumsier, and 

 the larger kind much lighter than is usually the case. 



BuLL-HOARBR, TUbar, Kundain.- This oval instrument is used 

 at some of the secret rites for the purpose of making a whirring 

 sound, whence the name given it by Europeans. Those seen were 

 the only articles ornamented with carving observed by me from 

 Warrina to Eraser Range except the following smaller objects. 



Nose-stick, Kondell, Wondarra (PI. 15, fig. 2).— Some of 

 these are over ten inches long, and fully three-eighths of an inch 

 in diameter. The ends are usually ornamented with lines wind- 

 ing round tliem, which are produced by cliarring with pointed 

 embers. 



Message-stick, Unnain, Vergu (PL 15, fig. 3).— The hiero- 

 glyphics are produced with a pointed ember ; or by scratching 

 with a sharply pointed, hardened piece of wood, pointed bone, or 

 sharply-edged chip of flint, and then rubbing the incisions over 

 with ochre. Very tine lines are produced by the stone-chip, as is 

 shown in the figure. 



Hair-pastener, Talla (PI. 15, fig. 4).--Used for fastening the 

 hair when forming the chignon-like knob at the back. From 

 four to six inches long, oval, and pointed on both ends, often 

 curved, and always ornamented with scratches or rings. Generally 

 they are made of Yauwilli (Acacia sp.), but sometimes of bone. 



Fastener, Balc/a, Dalgerri (PL 1 5, figs. 5 and 6).~Narrow, 

 notched, and ornamented sticks made of hard wood ; used as hair 

 pins, and for boring holes in skins, kc. 



Head-ornament, Yindinga (PL 15, fig. l),^Made of green, 

 soft-timbered sticks, which are shaved down, and the fine shavings 

 left attached at one end to form a ball at intervals. This orna- 

 ment is used at dances and corrobories. I have also seen a piece
