other figure (PI. xxv) the three rows have only six transverse 
marks. 1 iBay mention here also that the figure which is 
tatooed over the chest as well as the abdomen is also tattooed in 
two rows almost all the way down the right leg at the back 
(^Pl. xxvi), and there is one vertical tattoo on each side of the nates 
of the same model. 
The female generative organs are distinctly outlined in both of 
the models. The legs are well tapered, and in one figure more than 
the other seme attempt is shown to make the limbs approach at 
the knees and then separate slightly again in a natural manner as 
they descend towards the ankle. The legs in each instance do 
not end in feet but in pieces of wood which were used, as I before 
mentioned, for keeping them erect, the sticks being stuck into the 
ground. 
Posteriorly the hair hangs down over the shoulders, and tlie 
breasts are made so large as to be seen projecting beyond the sides 
of the figure, giving the appearance of arms folded aci’oss the 
chest with elbows projecting. 
The nates of the figure illustrated in PI. xxvi. are well modelled; 
in the other figure not so carefully. 
It is a rare thing to find figures of their species depicted by 
the aborigines ; these models are the first and only ones of the 
kind I know of, although I have been endeavouring to observe 
their habits all my life. 
Why the.se figures and those found by Grey have had their 
mouths omitted is to me a mystery, but its occurrence is .signifi- 
cant ; the features and other delicate [)oints of the body being 
so carefully drawn or modelled, it is nonsense to talk about such 
models as these being “dolls.” Can one imagine a child of any 
race making a doll and forming all its features Imt one, and 
that one of the most prominent of all the features 1 In the figures 
found by Grey the arms were not omitted ; in the.se models they 
iire as obsolete as are the moutlis. Wliat would a chihl of any 
race say to whom one presented a doll if the jiresent weie
